17 96 has represented the borouah of Truro; d. April
1814. l
From the Saxons to the period of Edward I. 1299, we
have many documents respecting the Cornish Mines. The
Saxons employed the Saracens, or the Phoenicians, in Corn-
wall, to work them; and subsequent to the Norman con-
quest, the Jews were the sole managers of mining concerns.
In the time of Richard, King of the Romans, and 1st earl
ot Cornwall, their produce was immense; and to him the
Jews were farmed out by his brother, Henry III. At this
period, the tin mines in Spain, being obstructed by the
Moors, and none having been then discovered in Germany,
Malabar, or the East Indies, Richard, earl of Cornwall, en-
grossed the whole tin trade in Europe.

This family is a branch of the noble family of Morton,
The following is the descent : sir George Douglas, knt,,
1st of Kirkness, 2d son of James Douglas, of Lochleven,
6th earl of Morton; 2. Archibald, eldest son of sir George ;
3. sir William Douglas, knt. only son of Archibald, killed

est son of sir William), who left issue, 1. sir Robert, of
Kirkness; and 2. William, of Kinglassie: sir Robert had

Charles, of Kinglassie. From the 1st and 2d sons there is
no male issue, so that the present baronet is the nearest
male of this branch of the family of Morton.
I. Sir CHARLES was created a baronet for his distin-
guished services in the command of the squadron which
forced its way up the river St. Lawrence, at an unusually
early period of the year, and relieved Quebec, then be-
sieged by the Americans, 1776. Sir Charles had risen to
to this rank through a long train of zealous, arduous, and
v 3 distinguished

distinguished services ; and his subsequent career was still
more brilliant in proportion as rank and power gave a field
for his talents and activity of mind. When he was not ac-
tually employed at sea, he devoted himself to the laborious
and difficult task of improving the military equipment of
the service. Gunnery was his favourite pursuit; and the
naval service is indebted to him for some of the greatest
improvements that were made, in his day, in this branch of
the profession. Among many others, sir Charles introduced
the use of locks into the navy.
After a service of four years in the command of the Stir-
ling Castle of 64 guns, and the Duke of 98 guns, sir Charles
was appointed captain of the fleet destined to serve under
sir George Rodney ; and in the memorable battle of the
12th of April 1782, sir Charles's superior abilities shone
conspicuously, and procured him the highest encomiums his
chief could bestow, and a large share in the fame of that
glorious day. Sir Charles afterwards commanded a squa-
dron on the coast of America, and in 1789 had hoisted his
flag for another foreign command, when he d. suddenly,

I. Sir RICHARD, knt., created a baronet, as above,
was bred at Westminster school, and entered R.N., and
received his first commission as lieutenant, in Feb. 1715-6 ;
in 1759 he was rated post in theCulloden, and immediately
after sailed for the West Indies in the Glasgow of 20 guns.
Having displayed much activity and gallantry in that quar-
ter, he returned to Europe in 1761, and served for some
time on the home station. In 1767, he, a 2d time, pro-
ceeded to the West Indies in the Renown ; but quitting
that ship, he remained unemployed till the end of the year
1770, when, on the apprehended rupture with Spain, he
was appointed to the Marlborough, of 74 guns. When his
majesty reviewed the fleet at Portsmouth in 1773, captain
Bickerton had the honour of steering his majesty's barge!
on winch occasion he received the honour of knighthood,
on board the Earflcur. On quitting the Marlborough, sir
Richard was appointed to the Augusta yacht, in which he
continued till theyear 1777, when the dispute with America
having commenced, he was nominated to the Terrible, of
74 guns, in which ship he was present at the encounter
which took place with Le Comte D'Orviiliers, offUshant,
on the 27 th of July. In the May preceding, when the 2d
naval review took place, sir Richard was advanced to the
dignity of a baronet of Great Britain. In April 1778, be-
ing on a cruise in the bay, in company with the Ramilies,
he fell in with a French convoy of 30 sail of merchantmen,
of which 8, or more, became their prize. In Feb. 1782, he
sailed with the convoy for India with a considerable force,
and joined sir Edward Hughes there, just in time to share
the encounter with M. de Suffrein, 20 June 1783. In 1786
he was appointed commodore on the Leeward Island sta-
tion, but on account of indisposition, resigned his command.
In Sept. 1787, he was promoted to the rank of rear-admi-
ral of the blue. In 1790 he hoisted his flag on board the
Impregnable, in the Chaunel fleet: ?«., 1758, Maria-Anne,

Sir ROBERT HERON, Bart., born 17C5, succeeded
his uncle, Sir Richard, in Jan. 1805 : married, Jan. 9, 1792,
Amelia, daughter of Sir Horace Mann, Bart,, by Lucy,
daughter of Baptist Noel, Earl of Gainsborough.
The names of Herioun and Hern are in the Battle Abbey
Roll, "of such noblemen and gentlemen of marque, as
came into England with the Duke of Normandy."
The duke not having fully reduced Northumberland,
Henry I. his son, to effect the reduction, and create a bar-
rier against Scotland, divided Northumberland into feudal
baronies, one of which, the Barony of Heron, whereof
Haddeston was the head, he granted in liod to the an-
cestor of sir Richard. In 1296 ^it descended to Emeline,
the

the heir-general of William, lord Heron, her grandfather.
She in. John, lord Darcy ; and in 1536, the baronies of
Darcy and Heron were forfeited by the attainder of their
descendant, Thomas, lord Darcy.
Upon the descent of Haddeston toEmeline Heron, Ford
Castle became the chief seat of this family, which divided
mto many branches ; particularly those of Ford Castle
Bokenfield, Chipchase, Applynden, Cressy, and New-
ark; several of whom had summons to parliament in temp.
Edw. III. Rich. II., and Hen. IV. Camden, in his " Britan-
nia," calls this bellicosa et clam familia Heronorum. — It is
one of the 270 most ancient and noble families of England
(the barons by tenure), of which there remained only 24
male branches in 1675, when Dugdale published his
History of the Feudal Barons. Some of the branches at
length failed for want of male heirs, and others united
again the ancestors of the baronet. The pedigree is curi-
ously preserved through all the branches, and it appears
that in 1682, on the death of John, the last Heron of Boken-
field, without issue male, Robert Heron, of Newark, his
first cousin, became chief of the family. He m. Mary Hob-

15 Aug. 1778.
Sir JOSEPH COPLEY, Bart., succeeded his father Sir
Lionel, 11 April 1801 : married 23 May 1799, Cecil Hamil-
ton (to whom his Majesty granted the precedence of an
Earl's daughter, 1789), 8th daughter of the Hon. and Rev.
George Hamilton, 4th son of James, 7th Earl of Abercorn.
Her Ladyship's marriage with her first cousin, John-James,
Marquess of Abercorn, K.G., was dissolved by Act of Par-
liament in 1798.
This ancient family is descended from Adam de Copley (a
place so styled in Yorkshire, from a great copp, or bank,
under which it is situated), who was killed at the siege of
York 1070, and from whom the Copleys, also of Gatton, co.
Surrey (who are particularly noticed in Manning's History
of that country), derive their name, and origin. They are
also allied by marriage with the Fitzwilliam family, whose
ancestor,
WOMBWELL. 799
Ancestor, sir William Fitzwilliam, attended William the
conqueror, and for his distinguished bravery at the battle
of Hastings, gave him a scarf from his own arm. Sprot-
brough, near Doncaster, from this period became the chief
residence of the family, and here sir John Fitzwilliam, one
of sir William's descendants, who lived during the reign of
king Henry V., caused a cross to be erected (which was
pulled down in 1520) not far from the church, with these
lines engraved upon it in brass: —
" Whoso is hungry and liste to eate
Let him come to Sprotbrough to his meate;
And for a night and for a day
His horse shall have both corn and hay,
And no man shall ask him when he goeth away."
Sir Joseph is paternally descended from Joseph, brother
©f Waiter Moyle, an ingenious and learned writer, sealed
at Bake, co. Cornwall, who d. 9 June 1721, aged 49.

Few families have claims to higher antiquity than that of
Ridel, or Riddell ; and fewer still have such grounds upon
which to establish their pretensions. Indeed the authori-
ties supporting their history are such as rarely occur in
genealogy, particularly at a period so early as that in which
it commences. This family derives its origin from the
counts or earls of Angoulesme, in France. Wulgrinus,
styled a kinsman to Charles the Bald, king of Fiance and

linda, Wulgrinus acquired the earldom of Agen. By her
he had 2 sons, i. Alduin (so called after his paternal uncle,
Alduin, the famous abbot of St. Denis, and chief minister of
France, under Lewis le Debonnaire), who succeeded to the
earldom of Angoulesme ; and 2. William, who had for his
inheritance the earldoms of Perigord and Agen, ancestor of
the earls of Perigord, which branch was afterwards united
to tliis family. Wulgrinus, d. 886. Alduin, earl of Angou-
lesme, rebuilt the walls of this chief city of his principality,
in order to defend it against the incursions of the Normans,
who at that time grievously infested the country. He d.
916, and was succeeded by his son, Wm., snrnamed the
Sector-ferri, orTaille-fer, that is, Iron-cutter. He acquired
this name from his having, in an engagement with the Nor-
mans, cloven through, with one stroke of his sword, the
body of Storis, their king, though clad in armour. He was
succeeded, 963, by his son, Arnold, earl of Angoulesme,

Marnard, surnamed the Rich, baron of Archiac and Bota-
ville: by her he had 5 sons, the 2 eldest of whom were, 1.

wife of John, king of England : from her every sovereign
who has since sat on the throne of England, to the present
day, has been descended) ; and 2. Galfridus, ancestor of this
family, who m. Agnes, da. and heiress of Albert II., earl of

dus III., who was lord justiciary of all England, the highest
office under the crown, in the time of Henry I., but suffer-
ed shipwreck, and was drowned with prince Win. king
Henry's son, 1120. His wife was Geva, da. of Hugh Lupus,
earl of Chester (and Geva, his 1st wife, da. of Robt. de
Buci), nephew to V/m. the Conqueior, by whom he had only
1 da. Matilda, who became his heir, wife of Richd. Basset,
lord justiciary of England to king Henry I., after the death
of Galfridus, his father-in-law. He was of an ancient and
noble family, being the son of Ralph Basset, lord justiciary
of England. The issue cf this marriage was 4 sons, 1. Gal-
fridus, who, in honour of his mother, assumed the name of
Ridel, and was ancestor of this family ; 2. Ralph, ancestor
of the Bassets of Drayton, peers of the realm. This branch
ended in heirs female, married into the families of Beau-
champ, earl of Warwick, the earls of Stafford, and the
Chaworths ; 3. Win. ancestor of the Bassets of Sapcope,
peers of the realm, which branch also ended in heirs female,
about the end of the 14th century ; 4. Jordan. Galfridus
IV. was baron Blaye, in France, and held great possessions
in England. He afterwards entered into the church, and
became the chief support of the king against Thomas a
Becket. He was archdeacon of Canterbury, while that see
was filled by Becket, who gave him the name of the arch-
devil of Canterbury. Galfridus afterwards became bishop
of Ely, and grand justiciary of the realm. During the whole
reign of Henry II. he was employed in the most important
services. He d. 1189, leaving immense wealth, which king
Richd. I. seized, on account of his having d. intestate.
Galfridus, by his 1st wife, had 2 sons, Galfridus and
Richd. The former succeeded to the principality of Blaye,
and is the celebrated Troubadour, whose poetry and adven-
tures are of the most singular nature which the ages of chi-
valry ever produced. He d. of love at Tripoli. Richd.
the 2d son, upon his brother's death, succeeded to almost
all the estates in England. This Richd. had reassumed the
surname
804 RIDDELL.
surname of Basset. Galfridus's 2d wife was Sabilla,
sister to Wm. Mauduit, lord of Hanslap, and ancestor of the
earls of Warwick. By her he left 2 sons and 1 da. Hugh,
the eldest son, is the direct ancestor of this family. Win.
the 2d son, was high chancellor of Scotland, under Wm. the
Lion. He d. 1214. Hugh Ridel obtained the principality
of Blaye upon the death of his half-brother, Galfridus V.,
and 7u. Margaret, da. and heiress of Peter de Sancto Me-
dardo, or Semerc. He was a most powerful baron, and in
1174 was one of the hostages to Henry II. for Wm. the
Lion, king of Scotland, when taken prisoner at the battle
of Alnwick. To that prince he was allied through the An-
jou, Chester, and St. Liz families. Galfridus, son of Hugh,
lord of Blaye, &c. was one of the barons who conspired
against king John, 1212.
It would far exceed the limits of this work to particu-
larize the several succeeding personages of this family,
which seems to have preserved, in a great measure, its
grandeur and importance until the reign of Henry VI.,
when they entirely lost their possessions in France, and
much of their English property. In the 16th century, John
Riddell, of Sallowes, esq., then head of the family removed
into Scotland, where they have ever since been seated.
Jas. lliddcll, of Kinglass, co. Linlithgow, esq., was a very
conspicuous and much-respected character in the time of the
commonwealth, and in the reign of Charles II. Jas. his

FARMER, of Mount Pleasant, co. Sussex.
Oct. 26, 1779.
This family is descended from the Farmers, of Youghall,
co. York, of which place the late baronet's father was a na-
tive.
Capt.
808 FARMER.
Capt. Farmer, being on a cruise off Ushant, in company
with the Rambler cutter, came up with, and closely en-
gaged, a large French frigate, called the. Surveillante,
mounting 40 guns, while the Rambler was engaged with a
French cutter, as superior in force as the French frigate
was to the Quebec. The action on both sides was warm
and bloody for 6 hours, when the French cutter bore away;
but the Rambler was too much disabled in her masts and
rigging to follow her with any hopes of coming up. The
commander, therefore, seeing both the frigates dismasted,
and the Quebec take fire, endeavoured to get as near the
Quebec as possible, in hopes of saving some of her men ;
but there being little wind, and a large swell, no other as-
sistance could be afforded, than by hoisting out the boat,
which nicked up one master's mat*1, two young midshipmen,
and 1-1 more of the Quebec's people, the enemy's frigate,
at the same time, firing at the boat. The Quebec con-
tinued to burn very fiercely for 4 hours, when she blew up.
Words cannot describe the gallantry and magnanimity
displayed by Capt. Farmer on this occasion, not only in the
engagement, but in the fatal catastrophe with which it was
attended. Having his arm broken towards the close of the
engagement, he tied his handkerchief round the shattered
part of the bone, and then addressed his men as follows :
" My lads ! this is warm work ; therefore keep up your fire
with double spirit; we will die or conquer !"
When the ship took fire, the captain, the first lieutenant,
and many of the crew, remained on board ; but most of the
men jumped into the sea, where numbers perished in sight
of those on board the ship. The fire now raging with more
violence, the captain was requested to attempt saving him-
self; but he refused every solicitation, and declared he
would not quit the ship while there remained another man
on board. By degrees the number of his companions grew
less and less, and he saw inevitable destruction fast ap-
proaching ; he entreated the remainder to jump into the
sea, whilst he sat on the fluke of the sheet-anchor, waiting,
with heroic fortitude, the dreadful explosion, which, at
last, numbered him with departed heroes.
I. Sir GEORGE, created a bait. 26 Oct., 1779, in re-
muneration of the gallant services of his father ; m., Oct.
1786, Sophia, 3d da. of Richd. Kenrick, of Nautelwyd, co.

from his gig, 26 May, 1814, when it is presumed the title
became extinct.

5 May 1807. His works on financial subjects, and liU
practical as well as theoretical exertions in matters of
agriculture and civil economy, have deservedly made his
name celebrated; and, on the whole, it is uncommon to
meet with an individual who has endeavoured to do more
private good, or who has paid such successful attention to
so great a variety of public objects, interesting to the dis-
trict which gave him birth, to the country in which he lives,
or to maukind in general.

COLQUHOUN, of Luss, co. Dumbarton.
Created Baronet of Scotland, 1 August 1625;
and of Great Britain, 10 June 1786.
Sir JAMES COLQUHOUN, Bart., succeeded his fa-
ther, Sir James, in 1805 ; M.P. for the County of Dum-
barton in 1802 ; married, in 1802, Janet, daughter of the
Right Hon. Sir John Sinclair, of Ulbster, Bart., and has
issue, 1. James; 2. John; 3. William; 4. Sarah-Maitland ;
and 5. Helen.
The traditional accounts of the origin of this ancient
family are various. Some authors deduce their descent
from a younger son of Conoch, a king of Ireland, who came
to Scotland in the reign of Gregory the Great, and ob-
tained from that prince some lands in Dumbartonshire, to
which he gave the name of Conochon, which soon after
came to be corrupted into Colquhoun, which name they
have retained ever since. The immediate ancestor of this
family was Umphridus de Kilpatrick, who, temp. Alexan-
der II., obtained a grant of the lands and barony of Col-
quhoun, co. Dumbarton, whereupon he quitted the name
of Kilpatrick, and assumed that of Colquhoun. Ingelra-
mus de Colquhoun, his son, lived temp. Alexander III. Sir
John, the 7th in descent from Umphridus, was highly
esteemed by James III., who, 1463, appointed him cristas
rotulorum* or clerk registrar for Scotland ; and 1474 he
was preferred to be lord high chamberlain of England. He
was afterwards constituted governor of the castle of Dum-
barton for life. He m. a daughter of Thomas, lord Boyd,
by whom he had 2 sons and 1 da. ; 1 . Humphrey ; 2.
Robert, who was consecrated bishop of Argyll, 1473, and
was in that see 1495. His da., Margaret, was wife of sir
Wm. Murray, 7th baron of Tullibardin, and bore to him
17 sons, of whom the duke of Athol, and several other
families of the name of Murray, are descended. He was
killed at the siege of the eastie of Dumbarton, 1 May 1478,
and
832 COLQUHOUN.
and was succeeded by his eldest son, sir Humphrey, who
to., 1st, Jean, da. of Thomas, lord Erskine, by whom he
had 1 son, John, and 2 das. ; and 2dly, a da. of John, 3d
lord Somerville, by whom he had no surviving issue; and
dying in 1493 was succeeded by his son, sir John, to., 1st,
Margaret Stuart, da. of John, earl of Lennox, by whom
he had 2 sons and 4 das. ; and 2dly, Margaret Cunning-
ham, by whom he had 2 sons. He d. 1535. His eldest son,
Humphrey, to. Katharine, da. of William, 1st earl of Mont-
rose, by whom he had 1 son, John, and 3 das. He sur-
vived his father only 2 years, and was succeeded by his
son, sir John, who to. Agnes, da. of Robert, 4th lord Boyd,
ancestor to the earls of Kilmarnock. His eldest son, Hum-
phrey, to., 1st, Jean Cunningham, da. of Alexander, 5th
earl of Glencairn, relict of Archibald, 5th earl of Argyll,
by whom he had no issue; and 2dly, Jean, da. of John,
lord Hamilton, by whom he had only one da.
In 1594, or 1595, the clan of Macgregor, with some of
their lawless neighbours, came down upon the low country
of Dumbartonshire, and committed vast depredations, es-
pecially upon the territories of the Colquhouns. Humphrey
raised his vassals, and followed to oppose them, and was
joined by many of the gentlemen in the neighbourhood-
Both parties met at Glenfroome, where a bloody conflict
ensued. Many were killed on both sides, but the High-
landers appear to have had the advantage. The laird of
Colquhoun retired to a castle of his own, but being closely
pursued by a party of the enemy, they broke into his cas-
tle and put him to death ; and he having no male issue,
was succeeded by his brother, Alexander, to. Helen, da.
of sir George Buchanan, by whom he had 5 sons and 1 da.
Sir John, the eldest son, was, by king Charles I., created
a baronet of Nova Scotia. He was a great loyalist, and
was fined by Oliver Cromwell the sum of £2000 sterling,
1654; he to. Lilias Graham, da. of John, 4th earl of Mont-
rose, brother to the Marquess, by whom he had 3 sons and
2 das. : he was succeeded by his son, sir John, who to. Mar-
garet, da. and heiress of sir Gideon Baillie, of Lochend, co.
Haddington, by Magdalene, da. and co-heiress of David,
lord Carnegie; but having no surviving male issue, was suc-
ceeded in 1676 by his brother, sir James, to. Penuel, da. of
sir Wm. Cunningham, and Catharine, his wife, da. of James,
7th earl of Glencairn, by whom he had 1 son, Humphry,
and 1 da. He was succeeded by his son, sir Humphry,
who was member of the union parliament, and strenuously
opposed

garet, da., of sir Patrick Houston, bait., by Anne Hamil-
ton, his wife, da. of John, lord Bargeny, by whom he had
only 1 da., Anne, wife in 1702, of James Grant. Sir Hum-
phrey wishing that his da. and her husband should suc-
ceed'him in his estate and honours, made, in 1704, a resigr
nation of his baronetship, &c. for a new patent to himself
in life-rent, his son-in-law and his heirs, on condition of
carrying the name and arms of Colquhoun. Sir Humphry
d. 1718, and was succeeded in his estate and honours by
James Grant, his son-in-law, underthe name and designation
of sir James Colquhoun, of Luss, who enjoyed that estate
and title till his elder brother, Alexander Grant, d. with-
out issue in 17iy; he then succeeded to the estate of
Grant, relinquished the name and title of Colquhoun of
Luss, and resumed that of Grant, but claimed the baronet-
ship, it being by the last patent invested in his person.
By the said Anne he had 5 sons and 5 das. ; 1. Humphry, d.

his eldest surviving son, Ludovic, who had possessed the
estate of Luss till the death of his elder brother 1732,
which then devolved upon his immediate younger brother,

Humphrey Colquhoun, his grandfather, as heir of provi-
sion and entail, and carried the name and arms of that an-
cient family accordingly. He m. Helen gutherland (who

N.B. The escallops seem to have been assumed by a
crusader of the family (to one of whom there is a monument
in the church of Shipton Malet) subsequent to the settle-
ment in England; hut prior to the reign of king John, as
the arms borne by the companion of William the conqueror
are said to have been three buckles, which are still retain-
ed by the family of Greville, in Normandy. The motto
seems to have been assumed by Baldwin, solicitor to king
Henry VIII., probably in allusion to the potence of his roy-
al master. Amongst the great possessions of the family in
Somersetshire, were Enmore Castle, St. Audries, Sutton
Malet, Curry Malet, Shipton Malet, Poynington, Oak,
Compton, Conquest, &c, all which are now alienated.

ERSKINE, 879
"Wm. Erskine, of Torrie, co. Fife, 2d son to David, lord
Cardross, a person of great integrity and honour, was a
colonel in fee army; he served in the cavalry with distin-
guished reputation, and was appointed deputy-governor of
Blackness castle ; lie m. Magdalene, da. to sir Jas. Lums-
danf, of Innergelly, co. Fife, maj.-gen. in the service of
Gustavus Adolphus, king of Sweden, and had issue 2 sons,
William and James ; the latter of whom was capt. in the
Greys, and lost his life on service in Flanders. William,
the eldest, who succeeded his father, was a col. in the army,
and lieut.-col. of the 7th light dragoons, which regiment he
commanded during the Flanders' war, and was severely
wounded at the battle of Fontenoy, from which he never
recovered : he m. Henrietta, da. and co-heiress to Win.
Baillie, of Lamington, by lady Henrietta Lindsay, eldest
da. to William, the lath earl of Crawford. Wm. Baillie, of
Lamington, chief of that ancient name, was paternally de-
scended from sir Alexander Baiilie, or Baliol, baron of
Caires, lord chamberlain of Scotland, and a younger brother
to John Baliol, lord of Galloway, father to John Baliol,
king of Scotland: ne was also descended from sir Wm.
Wallace, regent Gi' Scotland in 1297 (one of the greatest
patriots, warriors, and heroes, of this or any other age or
country). The Baillies, or earls of Lamington, became
seated there by marriage with sir Wm. Wallace's da. and
only child. The said William Enskine of Tonie had, by
his wife, Henrietta, 1 sob, sir UilUam, lstbart. and 2 das.,
Margaret and Henrietta: the former m. Stirling, of
Keir, esq.
Sir WILLIAM, who succeeded his father, entered the
army at an early period. By services of the most splendid
nature he added many a wreath to his country's fame, and
did honour to the noble race from whence he sprung. He
served in various climes for the long period of half a century,
seventeen years of which were employed in the most active
campaigns, having served in the Flanders, German, and
American wars, and that of the French revolution. After
the war of Germany he laid at the king's feet 16 stand of
colours, taken by the regiment which he commanded (the
15th light dragoons) alone ; upon which occasion, his ma-
jesty was graciously pleased to create him knight banneret
(the only one of his time), and which distinction has never
since been conferred on any one. He was created a bart.,
as above, 21 June 1791. In the eventful period of the
French revolution, when the British were employed in

Flanders, he exhibited a firmness and coolness beyond all
praise. He, on every occasion, imparted a brilliancy to
his own character, and an addition to the military reputa-
tion of England, which will belong remembered, and was,
at the time, productive of the most essential benefit. He was
as much beloved for his social virtues as he was esteemed
and respected, even by the enemy, for his personal bravery
and military talents ; and it is not too much to say, that
England now could boast of an officer who possessed, in a
superior degree, such undeniable claims to the confidence
and honours which his merits alone occasioned. He attained
the rank of lieut.-gen. in the army, and col. of the 26th
regiment of foot ; but his most distinguished services were
with the cavalry. He had received his majesty's commis-
sion to proceed to Ireland, to take upon himself the com-
mand of the troops in that kingdom, and was preparing to
depart, when he was seized with a spasm, and, after a short
illness, d. in the full vigour of mind and body, in the 68th
year of his age.

3 sons and 5 das. ; 1. sir William, and 2. sir James, succes-
sive baits. ; 3. John-Drummond, in the civil service of the
East India company ; 4. Frances, m. lieut.-gen. Wm. We-

his eldest son,
II. Sir WILLIAM, lieutenant-general of cavalry, who
served in the war of the French revolution, in the expedi-
tion to Flushing, and 3 years in Spain and Portugal. He
was much distinguished by a quickness of apprehension,
and precision of judgment, on most subjects, but particu-
larly on military matters. He was intrusted with the com-
mand of the advanced guard in the pursuit of the French
from the lines of Lisbon, in which he acquitted himself to
the high satisfaction of the commander of the forces ; and af-
ter enduring the most fatiguing operations of the campaign
in 1812, he was seized with a pleurisy, terminating in a
fever, of which he d. at Brozas, in Spain, 13 Feb. 1813, being

Draper, who was appointed to command the land-forces
against Manilla, embarked with him on board the ArgOj
which sailed from Plymouth, g2 Feb. Capt. Kin- had the
good fortune, which lord Anson predicted, to make a very
expeditions passage to India: which, if lie had not effected,
the enterprise against Manilla must have failed, as the squa-
dron arrived there only a few days previously to the changing
of the monsoon. 1763 he was appointed to the Grafton, of
68 guns, in which he arrived in England, in July 1764, with
the galleon which he had captured in company of the Len-
nox. 1771 he was appointed to the Ardent, and afterwards

man of the East India company, he was nominated to pro-
eeed, as 2d officer in command, under rear-admiral sir
Edwd. Hughes, to the East Indies. After his arrival there
in 1780, he was promoted to the rank of commodore. On
this station he continued during the whole of the war, and
was engaged in all the actions with the French squadron,
commanded by M. de Saffrein. In 1784 he received the ho-
nour of knighthood. In 1787 he was promoted to the rank of
rear-adml. of the white, and 1790 he was appointed com-
mauder-io-chief in the Downs. 1791 he was made rear-

Sir GILBERT STIRLING, Bart, succeeded his father
sir James, Feb. 1805.
This surname is of great antiquity in Scotland.
In ancient times, before the competition for the crown
between Bruce and Balio!, there were two considerable fa-
milies of this name, who made a great figure in Scotland,
viz. the families of Keir and Calder. It is supposed, that
the immediate ancestor of this bart. was Walterius de
Striveling, who lived in the reigns of king David I. and
Malcolm IV. in the 12th century. Thomas de Striveling, his
grandson, a man of extraordinary parts and integrity, be-
ing bred to the church, became one of the greatest men in
the kingdom. He was appointed lord high chancellor of
Scotland by King Alexander II. and d. 1227. From Ro-
bert, his elder brother, descended Gilbert Stirling, esq. who

1. Sir FRANCIS, 3d son, of Stratton-Park, co. Hants,
b. 18 April 1740, created a bait., 11 May 17 93. Sir Fran-
cis at an early period distinguished himself by his accurate
knowledge and dexterity in financial calculations : during
the eventful periods of the last 40 years, he exhibited to
Iks countrymen a just knowledge of his country's true in-
terest, and an eager anxiety to promote her commerce by
his own individual example. Enabled by his affluence to
assist the minister in the various loans required, from time
to time, in the service of the state, he soon became the
leading member of themonied interest; and even the pros-
perity cf England, at certain periods, may be said to have
revolved around him, as its primum mobile. His services
on those and other occasions of great national interest, par-
ticularly ?s a director of the East India company and as a
member of parliament, were too important to escape the
notice of administration, and certainly entitle his memory
to grateful veneration. He m. Henrietta, da. of Wm. Her-

1. Sir FRANCIS, 3d son, of Stratton-Park, co. Hants,
b. 18 April 1740, created a bart., 11 May 1793. Sir Fran-
cis at an early period distinguished himself by his accurate
knowledge and dexterity in financial calculations : during
the eventful periods of the last 40 years, he exhibited to
Iks countrymen a just knowledge of his country's true in-
terest, and an eager anxiety to promote her commerce by
his own individual example. Enabled by his affluence to
assist the minister in the various loans required, from time
to time, in the service of the state, he soon became the
leading member of the nionied interest; and even the pros-
perity of England, at certain periods, may be said to have
revolved around him, as its primum mobile. His services
on these and other occasions of great national interest, par-
ticularly ps a director of the East India company and as a
member of parliament, were too important to escape the
notice of administration, and certainly entitle his memory
to grateful veneration. He m. Henrietta, da. of Wm. Her-
ring, of Croydon, co. Surrey, esq., cousin and co-heiress
of Thos. Herring, archbishop of Canterbury, 1747, and by

ful influence of his name in the mercantile world, that even
the public funds exhibited the effects of his loss, by a con-

Sir THOMAS-ROBERT SALUSBURY, Bart, torn 18
May 1783, succeeded his father, Sir Robert, 15 Nov. 1817.
This family is considered, by some, to be a junior branch
from Waiter de Ewrus, carl of Rosmar and Mante (vvlio ac-
companied William the Conqueror into England, and was
rewarded with the lordships of Salusbury and Ambrose-
bury, co. Wilts). Other genealogists deduce the family
from Adam de Salisbury, a younger son of the duke of Ba-
varia, who came into Wales, and was captain of the garrison
of Denbigh, whereby he became possessed of land there,
and by his wife, Joyce, da. of sir William Pomfret, had 2
sons, Alexander, and Thomas, who???. Joyce, da. of sir Wm.

15th, 20th, 36th, and 37th, of the same reign. Thomas, a
descendant of his, having valiantly behaved himself against
the Cornish rebels, headed by lord Audley, was knighted
at the bridge foot, upon the king's entering London after
the battle of Blackheath, 1496. Henry Salusbury, the 11th
in descent from him, was created a bait. 1619, and w., 1st,

lord of Carew (see Gerard of Bryn and Carew of Haccomb),

In the 14th century we find Robert Hawley, of whom a
singular story is on record : During the priorship of the gi-
gantic and courageous Nicholas Lithington, first prior of
the abbey-church of St. Peter, in Westminster, Robert
Hawley and John Shakell, esqrs., in the battle of Nazers, in
Spain, had taken the Spanish earl of Dene prisoner, who
delivered up his son as an hostage for his ransom. The
youth was left unnoticed by his father for some years, when
John, duke of Lancaster, thought fit to demand him ; the
captors released him without a consideration; upon this
they were committed to the Tower, from whence they es-
caped ; but Shakell was retaken, and Hawley fled to the
clioir of St. Peter's abbey for sanctuary, whither sir Allen
Roxal, constable of the Tower, and sir Ralph Ferrers, with
a number of armed men, pursued him : after a stout resist-
ance on his part with a small sword, with which he frequent-
ly drove his antagonists back, he was at last killed in the
chancel, at the very time of high-mass, 11 Aug. 1378, to-
gether also with a faithful servant, and a priest, who re-
monstrated against such violent proceedings. The church
was shut for 4 months after this melancholy and barbarous
outrage. Subsequently to this we find Thomas Haicley suc-
cessively Carlisle herald, and Norroy king-at-arms, temp.

POORE, of Rushall-Halt,. co. Wilts.

Sir EDWARD POORE, Bart., bom 4 Dec. 1795, suc-

married 6 Jan. 1818, Agnes, 3d daughter of Sir John Mar-
jcribanks, Bart., and has issue a daughter, bom and
another daughter, born May 1822.
This family originally spelt their name Poer, and is of
great antiquity in the cos. Wilts and Gloucester. Richard
Poer was high sheriff of the latter county in 1187 ; and
there is a curious record in the heralds' college, that he was
killed defending the Lord's day. This Richard Poore had
2 sons, Philip and Richard, who was the 1st dean of Salis-
bury, bishop of Chichester, then of Sarum, and 3dly, of
Durham, and d. 15 April 1237, and was buried at Sarrant,
co. Dorset, in a nunnery of his own founding : he laid the
foundation of Salisbury cathedral in a very pleasant place,
called Merifield. The building, with its lofty spire, and
double transept, venerable by a kind of sacred cheerfulness
and majesty, was finished at a prodigious expense in 40
years, and dedicated, in 1258, in the presence of king
Henry III., of which an old bard sings, not inelegantly :
" Regis enim virtus spectator in isto :
Praesulis affectus, artificumque fides."
This church, the king's delight, in wisdom's rays,
The bishop's zeal, the builder's faith, displays.
But much more elegantly says the celebrated and learned
Daniel Rogers :
" Mira canam ! soles quot continet annus in una,
Tarn numerosa ferunt, aede fenestra micat ;
Marmoreasque capit fusas tot ab arte columnas
Comprensas boras quot vagus annus habet ;
Totque patent porta? quot mensibus annus abundat
Res mira ! at verzl res celebrata fide."
Wondrous to tell ! as many windows here
As solar revolutions in one year)
As
928 MURRAY-M'GREGOR.
As many marble pillars rise around
As hours within the fleeting year are found ;
As many doors as months admittance give ;
Strange as it seems, we must the tale believe.

shire, from whom was descended Abraham Poore, esq., of

MURRAY-M'GREGOR, of Lanric, co. Perth.

Sir JOHN-M'GREGOR MURRAY-MCGREGOR, Bart.,
late Colonel in the Army, in the East India Company's ser-
vice,
MURRAY-M'GREGOR. 929
vice, and Auditor-General in Bengal ; resumed the surname
of M'Gregor, by Royal Licence, 1822; married Anne,
daughter of Roderic Macleod, Esq., by whom he has a son,
Evan John.
Though this family have, in the last two or three genera-
tions, assumed the name of Murray, they are, in fact, of the
race of Mac Gregor. The royal descent of this most an-
cient clan might be traced from the chronicles of the Scot-
tish kings to the remotest antiquity ; but we shall cany it
no further back than prince Gregor, 3d son of king Alphin,
son of the celebrated Achaius, king of Scotland, who began
to reign 787. The 5th in descent from him was Gregor
Garubh, or the Stout, who m. a da. of the ancient house of
Lochow, predecessor of the family of Argyll. He fought
under Duncan I., in his battles against the Normans and
Danes, highly resented the murder of that monarch by
Macbeth, and was a powerful promoter of the restoration of
his son, Malcolm, prince of Cumberland. In the early part
of the 17th century there happened great animosities be-
tween the Macgregors and the Colquhouns, Buchanans,
and Grammes, which produced several bloody conflicts ; and
their adversaries having favour at court, the Macgregors
were persecuted with great fury. To such a height of fe-
rocity were matters carried, that a price being set upon the
heads of the clan by the privy council, two of their enemies,
who had shared considerably of their estates, got blood-
hounds, with which they hunted them, devouring and man-
gling them wherever they were found. So keen and pow-
erful were the conductors of their destruction, that a very
severe act was made against them, whereby their name was
proscribed, and all persons were at liberty to mutilate or
slay them without being liable to law; nay, encouraged to
it by a promise of their moveable goods and gear. In this
situation the Macgregors continued till the time of the so-
lemn league and covenant, which, as their principal enemies
were interested in, afforded them a respite. They were
much courted to join the confederacy, upon promises of
future friendship ; but rebellion against majesty had ever
been detestable to them, and they declared, "That as they
Lore the crown on the point of their swords, they would not
fail to use the latter in support of the former." Patrick
Macgregor afterwards joined Montrose in support of the
royal cause with above a thousand of his clan. Mr. Nisber,
vol. n. « in
930 MURRAY-M'GREGOR.
in mentioning the loyalists, says. "The Macgregors also, R
clan inferior to none in bravery and activity, followed their
chief."
Patrick was in particular esteem with Montrose, two of
whose letters are carefully preserved, addressed to " His
special and trusty Friend, the honourable Patrick, Laird of
Macgregor :" that great man, in the strongest terms, ex-
pressed his hearty approbation of his unshaken loyalty, and
assured him that " His Majesty's affairs being once upon a per*
manent footing, the grievances- of his Family and Clan should be
effectually redressed." But their chief hopes died with this
great hero ; though they were, in consequence of their loy-
alty, restored to their name, by act of parliament, in the
reign of Charles II. Patrick m. Marian, da. of Macdonald,
of Auchatrichatan, chief of the most powerful tribe of Mac-
donalds in Glenco, by whom he had 3 sons: 1. John ; 2.
James, a major in the army, who went to America, where
he married, and acquired a great estate. He was at last
killed by a party of rebel Indians ; but some of his poste-
rity still flourish near New York ; 3. Duncan, d. unm ; John,
the eldest son, was a steady loyalist: he m. Ann, da. of
Macgregor, of Ross, by whom he had a son, John, and se-
veral other children. John Macgregor, alias Murray, m.
Catharine, eldest da. of Hugh Campbell, of Lix, esq., de-
scended from some of the first families of Scotland, by whom
he had 5 sons : 1. Robert; 2. Peter, m. and left ada., Catha-
rine, wife of John Gregorson ; 3. Duncan, who now repre-
sents the family, was sorely wounded at the battle of Pres-
tonpans, in 1745 ; he has a son, John; and a da., Drum-
mond-Mary; 4. Evan (of whom hereafter); 5. John, who
signalized himself at the siege of Carthagena, in 1740, and
in the succeeding war was killed at Ticonderago. Robert,
of Glencaruock, the eldest son, assumed the name of Mar-
ray, was attached to the interest of the Stuart family, and
had the command of a regiment of his own clan in 1745.
The duke of Cumberland sent to assure them, that if they
would lay down their arms, and return home, they should
be restored to their name, and otherwise favoured by go-
vernment ; or if they would join him, that their commanders
should have the same rank, and their promotion be esteem-
ed the peculiar care of his royal highness. This message
produced a spirited but polite refusal ; and after the bat-
tle of Culloden, the Macgregors marched in a body to their
own country with flying colours, and then dispersed in
small parties. Soon afterwards the king's troops burnt all

This ancient family derives its name from the town of

HIPPISLEY, of Warfield-Grove, co. Berks.
30 April 1796.
Sir JOHN-COXE HIPPISLEY, Bart., D.C.L., F.R,
and A.S., Recorder, and one of the Representatives in
Parliament for the Borough of Sudbury from 1802 to 1812,
a Bencher of the Honourable Society of the Inner Temple,
and a Manager of the Royal Institution. Sir John married,
1st, 1780, Margaret, 2d daughter of Sir John Stuart, Bart.,
ofAllanbank, co. of Berwick (who d. 24 Sept. 1799), by
whom he has 1 son, John-Stuart, and 3 daughters : 1. Mar-
garet-Frances, m. Thomas-Strangways Horner, Esq., of
Mells-Park, co. Somerset; 2. Windham - Barbara ; 3.
Louisa- Anne. Sir John m. 2dly, Elizabeth, daughter of the
late Thomas Horner, of Mells-Park, Esq., and relict of
Henry-Hippisley Coxe, of Stone-Easton-Kouse, Esq., one
of the Representatives in Parliament for the County of
Somerset.
In the years 1779 and 1780, being then in Italy, Sir John
Hippisley was engaged in many important communications
to Government. On his return to England in the following
year, in consequence of those service?, he was recom-
mended
HIPPISLEY. 939
mended in the strongest terms by Lord North, then at the
head of the Treasury, to the Court of Directors of the
East India Company ; in consequence of which, he was
immediately appointed to that service with the advanced
rank of 4 years* He resigned his employments in 1787,
having held offices of great trust and importance in the
kingdom of Tanjore during the war with Hyder Ally, and
his son, Tippoo Snltaun. In 1790 he was appointed Re-
corder of Sudbury, which appointment was confirmed by
his Majesty on the 6th of July following. At the general
election in 1790 he was elected one of the Representatives
for that Borough, for which he has served in 5 parliaments.
Sir John returned to Italy in the year 1792, where he con-
tinued till 1795, in which interval he was employed in
many important negotiations ; the beneficial result of which
was acknowledged in the most flattering manner by his
Majesty's Ministers. On his return to England, his Ma-
jesty was pleased, in consequence, to confer upon him the
dignity of a Baronet of Great Britain.
In 1795, at the instance of the present Elector and King
of Wurtemburg, then Hereditary Prince, he was engaged
in the negotiation of his marriage with the Princess Royal
of Great Britain ; an alliance which was then considered
as eventually of great importance, his Serene Highness
being the brother-in-law of the Emperors of Germany and
Russia. In consequence of the success of that negotia-
tion, the reigning Duke, by letters patent, granted to Sir
John Hippisley and his posterity the right of bearing the
arms of the House of Wurtemburg, accompanied with the
device or inscription of the Great Order of Wurtemburg,
viz. Amicitice virtutisque fcedus. This Grant his Majesty was
graciously pleased to confirm by his sign manual, com-
manding it to be registered in his College of Arms.
On the marriage of the Hereditary Prince with the Prin-
cess Royal, his Majesty, in conjunction with the reigning
Duke
940 HIPP1SLEY.
Duke of Wurtemburg, was also graciously pleased to ap-
point Sir John Hippisley, together with the Duke of Port-
land, Lord Grenville, and Mr. Chancellor Pitt, one of the
Commissioners and a Trustee of her Royal liighness's mar-
riage settlement.
The benevolent and munificent act of his Majesty in fa-
vour of the late unfortunate Representative of the House
of Stuart, and the expressive feelings of dignified grati-
tude with which the boon was accepted and acknow-
ledged, are facts generally known, and as generally ap-
plauded. The distresses of the Cardinal of York were
originally notified to his Majesty in consequence of the
letters addressed to Sir John Hippisley by the Cardinal
Borgia ; and the transaction must necessarily be consi-
dered as forming an interesting epoch in the history of our
Country.
Sir John Hippisley served the office of High Sheriff co.
Berks in the year 1800, and in the same year was named
in the charter of the Royal Institution of Great Britain,
one of the first Managers of that Corporation. He is also a
Fellow of the Royal and Antiquarian Societies, and a Mem-
ber of the Government Committee of the Turkey Company.
The family of Hippisley is traced from an early period as
seated in Somersetshire ; the principal branch has been
chiefly resident at Camely, and afterwards at Stone-Easton.
Richard Hippisley, b. the 14th Edward III., resided at
Camely, when that manor and many other lordships were
granted to him. In the 36th of Henry VIII., on the dis-
solution of the priory of Bruton, certain hinds belonging
to that priory were also granted by the Crown to his de-
scendant, John Hippisley, whose son and heir, John, is
certified to hold the manors of Camely, Stone-Easton, and
other lordships, by knight service.
John Hippisley, temp. Hen. VII., m. Agnes, da. and
heiress of sir William Hody, lord-chief-baron of the ex-
chequer, son of sir John Hody, lord-chief justice of Eng-

set in the heralds' college, that John Hippisley, of Stone-

Park. In the civil wars he sided with the parliament, and
was a commissioner to treat with the king. Marston- House,
now the seat of the eatl of Cork, was purchased by the 1st
earl of sir John Hippisley.
Others of this family were distinguished at the same
period by their adherence to the royal cause. Gabriel
Hippisley, equerry to the king, is stated to have been se-
verely fined by parliament for his attachment to Charles I.

he effected his escape, first to Jamaica, and then to Ireland,
where he obtained a pension from king William, and a com-
mission in a regiment commanded by marshal Schomberg.

vol. ii. s KNIGHTLEY,
9,1 KNIGHTLEY.
KNIGHTLEY, of Fawsley, co. Northampton.
30 Dec. 1797.
Sir CHARLES KNIGHTLEY, Bart., horn 1731, suc-
ceeded his uncle, the Rev. Sir John, 29 Jan. 1812 ; married,
21 Aug. 1813, Selina-Mary Hervey, eldest daughter of Fel-
ton-Lionel Hervey, of Englefield Green, co. Surrey, Esq.;
(hy Selina, only daughter and heiress of Sir John Elwell,
Bart., by Selina, daughter of Peter Bathursl, Esq., and re-
lict of Lord Ranelagh, and sister to Lieutenant-Colonel Sir
Felton-Lionel-Bathurst Hervey, C.B. Bart.) and has issue,
a daughter, b. 1817.
The Knightleys are originally co. Stafford, taking their
name from a manor so called, in that county, which they
have possessed ever since the Conquest: at that time, Ri-
naldus, one of the followers of king William I., had a grant
of it; but they removed to Fawsley, co. Northampton, 1415,
when sir Richard Knightley, knt., purchased that manor.
Sir Richard Knightley, K.B. was one of the richest private
subjects of his time, having landed property to the amount
of £13,000 per annum : he had an extreme aversion to the
church of England : his attachment to puritanism grew till
his zeal exceeded his prudence, and certain libels against
the church were with difficulty discovered to have been
printed in a small turret at Fawsley. For this offence, his
sovereign, queen Elizabeth, summoned him before the star
chamber, when he was deeply fined. Sir Richard sat in
several parliaments in that reign and the succeeding one.
His death happened in 1615 ; he m., 1st, Mary, da. ofWra.
Fermor, esq., by whom he had 2 sons and 1 da. ; and after
her death he m. the lady Elizabeth, 6th da. of the great
duke of Somerset, protector to his nephew, king Edward
VI.; she d. 1602. The issue of this marriage was sir Sey-
mour Knightley, and 6 other sons ; yet the male line be-
came extinct in this branch in a very few years. Upon
failure of the name in his descendants, the estate of Faw-
sley came to Richard, son of Thomas Knightley, of Burgh-
hall, co. Stafford ; he was also a zealous enemy to the hie-
rarchy in the church, and the regal prerogative in the state.
He d. 1650. Jane, his widow, da. of sir Edwd. Littleton,
bart. d. 1657, by whom he had 9 sons and 4 das.; his eldest

son. and heir, sir Richard Knightley, K.B. was member for
Northampton in the last parliament of Charles I. and was
as strenuous against him as his father ; took the covenant,
and was one of the committee of the parliament navy, yet
opposed the death of his sovereign, for which he was se-
cluded, with many others, from sitting in the house of com-
mons. He was appointed, by the protector, Oliver, one of the
assessors of the monthly taxes, in his own county of North-
ampton, which he represented in the parliament called by
the protector Richard, in 1658-9; he was afterwards one of
the council of state, in 1660, which greatly promoted the
Restoration, when he was received with much grace by his
majesty ; he d. 29 June 1661. He >??., 1st, Elizabeth, eldest

Sir EDWARD-THOMAS TROWBRIDGE, Bart.,
Captain R.N., succeeded his father, Admiral Sir Thomas ;
married, 19 Oct. 1810, Forrester, daughter of Admiral the
Hon. Sir Alexander-Inglis Cochrane, G.C.B. and niece to
the Earl of Dundonald, and has issue, IngUs, and a son, b.

a commander and post captain 1782, and returned to Eng-
land as captain of the admiral's ship, 1785, having served
in all the actions against the French in India as a highly
approved and distinguished officer, and was soon after se-
lected as a most skilful navigator to accompany commodore,
afterwards admiral Blankett, upon a particular service in
the Indian seas ; on his return was captured by the French
fleet, in the Castor frigate, and being a prisoner on board
the Sans Pareille of 80 guns, in the glorious victory of lord
Howe, 1 June 1794, was named by his lordship, upon her
capture on that day, to command her ; the admiralty im-
mediately after gave him the command of the Culloden, a
well manned 74, whose crew at first rejected him as their
captain, and afterwards served and fought under him with
uneclipsed eclat in the celebrated victory of earl St. Vin-
cent over the Spanish fleet, 14 Feb, 1797. Captain Trow-
bridge was so instrumental in the success of that day, that
lord St. Vincent despatched him to their mutual friend,
Nelson, with eight sail of the line in the Mediterranean,
and those ships, with the four Nelson had, destroyed the
French fleet of superior force at the battle of the Nile, 1
Aug. 1798. Commodore Trowbridge was then separately
and successfully employed on various and important ser-
vices in the Mediterranean, and for his distinguished gal
lantry on various occasions was created a baronet of Great
Britain, 23 Nov. 1799, with an honorable augmentation to
his armorial bearings allusive to his military exploits. On
the commodore's return to England in the Culloden, 1801,
he was selected by earl St. Vincent to be his lordship's
captain of the channel fleet, and afterwards appointed a
lord of the admiralty, with his chief, the earl being ap-
pointed first lord thereof. On the promotion of flag of-
ficers, 23 April 1804, sir Thomas was made an admiral,
and sent, 1805, to the East Indies, and returning from that
station was lost at sea in the Blenheim of 74 guns. Sir
Thomas was succeeded by his only son,
II. Sir EDWARD-THOMAS, present baronet.

of , and d. 1736, leaving issue, among other children,
William Peel, of the same place, who, hy his wife, Jane, da.
of Laurence Walmesly, of Darwin, co. Lancaster, esq., had,
among other children, sir Robert, present bait., and Joseph,
who d. 24 March 1820. Sir Robert, having spent the earlier
part of his life on his father's estate at Peele Cross, near
Lancaster, which, for several generations, has been in the
possession and borne the name of the family, very early in
life, and while fortune appeared to shut the door of ad-
vancement against him, entertained a strong presentiment
of becoming the founder of a family ; and even at the youth-
ful age of 14 he frequently avowed his determination to
raise himself to rank and consequence in society ; founding
his hope to be " sua faber fortunes," on a conviction that any
situation in a free country is accessible to a good capacity,
aided by prudence and industry. The high consideration
in which he is now held, and his splendid fortune, afford
striking proofs of the truth of this presentiment, and the
effects of persevering industry in a country where such ex-
ertions have the encouragement and support of good laws
impartially administered. Mr. Peel gave uncommonly
early proofs of quickness of perception; hence probably
arose that spirit in his enterprises, and that attention to ac-
tive habits, which enabled him to steer clear of those reve-
ries which usually accompany man in his progress to su-
perior heights. The cotton trade was, at this period (1770)
but a very inconsiderable branch of commerce, although
the ingenious sir Rutland Arkwright had made some happy
discoveries in the application of mechanical powers to the
great abridgment of human labour, the comparatively rude
state of this infant trade called forth the best energies and
inventive faculties of Mr. Peel; and becoming sensible of
the improvements of which machinery was susceptible, he
devoted himself to explore the powers of mechanical com-
binations with a view to their conversion to the purposes of
commerce, the best sinew of the strength of England. Sir
Robert, in 1802, brought a bill into parliament for the ame-
lioration of the condition of apprentices in the cotton and
woollen trades ; a measure which, more fully than any other,
developes the pure benevolence and complexion of his cha-
racter : he had long lamented the existence of various evils
among the poorer classes ; and it must prove one of the
highest satisfactions of his life, that he has been instrument-
al in lessening the sum of human misery, and particularly
of
STIRLING. 971
of those to whose labour he is, in some measure, indebted
for his present affluence. In private life, sir Robert is no
less estimable : although his concerns are so multifarious as
might lead one to suppose that this multiplicity would dis-
tract his thoughts, his mind is so little fettered, as to en-
able him to give a considerable portion of time to intellec-
tual pursuits. As the merit by which he acquired it made
him worthy of his fortune, so the use which he makes of it,
in communicating the means of comfort to all around him,
exceedingly endears him to an extensive circle, and gives
him a just claim to the honours he has received. At all
times accessible to the meatiest petitioner, his hand is
prompt to second the benevolent impulses of his heart ; and
none leave his presence before their wants have been listen-
ed to with sympathy, and charitably relieved : his heart,
purse, and hand, are thus truly the shadow of each other.

The Brookes are a family of great antiquity, settled ori-

spelt their name till the 17th century) was living in 1159;
he was the immediate ancestor of the Oakley branch of this
family: the 7th in decent from him was sir Nicholas Broke,
who is stated in the county visitations in the heralds' office
to have m. the da. of sir Jno. Bush, knt., and to have been
lord of the manor of Chester-waver, co. Warwick, where he
Was buried 10 Sept. 1271. Ancient pedigrees state that
Roger Broke, or de Broke, as Bridges styles him in his
" History of Northamptonshire,'' m., temp. Edward I.,
Agnes, one of the das. and co-heiresses of Philip de Covely,
who possessed the manors of Holdenby and Ravensthorp;
and that Edward Broke, temp. Edward II., m. the heiress
of sir Edward Gournay, knt. The visitations in the college
of arms state that William Broke (4th in descent from sir
Nicholas.) m. the niece of sir Thos. Billinge, lord chief jus-
tice, 6 Edward IV. He appears, by various family-deeds,
copies of which are in the British Museum (vide Harleian
Catalogue No. 4028, p. 166, 170 — 175), to have exchanged
the manors of Astwell, Fawcote, and Wappenham, co.
Northampton (24 April, 11 Edward IV,) with Thos. Lovett,
for the manors and towns of Great Oakley and Rushton,
and other considerable estates in the parishes of Bui wick,
Henswicke, Stanion, Newton, Weekly, and Little Oakley,
in the same county. This exchange took place on the mar-
riage of his son, John, with Margaret Lovett. The said
John m., 2d!y, Isabel, da. of Thos. Wake, of Blisworth,

Broke, m. Catharine, da. of sir Edwd. Watson, of Rocking-
ham, grand-da. of sir Edwd. Montague, of Boughton, chief-
justice of England, which said Catharine was also descended
from the above-named Joan, by her 2d husband, Ralph de
Monthermcr.
Sir Thomas Broke, son of Arthur, m. Judith Shugburgh,

Conqueror. Edward Broke, his brother, m. the da. of sir

child, sir Richard-Brooke-de-Capell Brooke, present bart.,
who, on the death of his father in 17 97, changed his name to
Brooke, as directed by the will of his great uncle, Wheeler
Brooke, esq., and at the same time obtained the royal li-
cense to reassume the name of De-Capell, the original pa-
ternal name of this family: his ancestor, Philip-de Capell,
having gone over to Ireland with Robt. Fitzstephen in the
reign of Henry II., and having been present with him at the
conquest of the kingdom of Cork, who, for his services,
granted to him and his heirs the estate of Ahadoe and other
considerable property in that county, held by knight's ser-
vice, and the payment of a pair of spurs annually at Easter
C vide the grant in Birmingham Tower, and the copy of it in

from the French of a work relative to Ireland, in which this
family are mentioned as gentlemen of note at that period,

CUMING GORDON, of Altyr, in Elgin, and
GORDOMSTONE, CO. Perth.
21 May 1801.
Sir WILLIAM-GORDON-CUMING GORDON, Bart.,
born 20 July 1787, succeeded his father, Sir Alexander-
Penrose, 10 Feb. 1806.
The family of Cuming- is said to be descended from the
ancient family of the Comines in France. Robert Curaine,
earl of Northumberland, was employed against the rebels
in Northumberland, as they were then termed, anno 1068.
William Cumine was lord high chancellor of Scotland in the
reign of king David I., who succeeded to the throne in
1124. It is agreed that the Cumines had large possessions
in lauds, and much greater power, than any other name in
Scotland, from the reign of Malcolm III., styled Canmore,
to that of king Robert Bruce. The Cumines, lords Bade-
noch, were undoubtedly chiefs of the whole clan. From
them were descended the Cumines, earls of Buchan, earls
of Monteith, &c. The Cumines of Altyr, descended from a
younger son of the lords of Badenoch, appear now to be the
representatives of that great and once flourishing family.
Alexander Cuming, of Altyr, (1.5th in descent from sir
John Cuming, lord of Badenoch, who d. 1249), m. Anne,
da. of John VVortley, esq., and had issue, Elizabeth, d. nnm.,

tain the lands left them by their ancestors;" and again
speaking of Mayo, he observes, lt this county is not so
famous on account of its towns, as of its inhabitants, they
being of Irish extraction, as the O'Mailies, Jais, Mac Va-
dines, &c." In this county, Mayo, there is a place called
tbh Maile, that is, O'Mailly's county ; a sufficient evidence
that the family has been of considerable importance in for-
fner times. Notwithstanding, however, these testimonies

This family and several others in England and Ireland,

Burke, Borouchs, Burrough, and Burroughs, derive their
origin from Robert de Burghs, who came from Normandy
with William the Conqueror, and in 1068 was created earl
of Cornwall, and his brother, Odo de Burgho, bishop of
Baieux, was created earl of Kent. One branch of Robert
de Burgho's family went to Ireland in the reign of Henry
II., and there gave rise to the noble families of Clanri-
«arde, Mayo, and several others of distinction in that king-
dom. Another branch, from which the present hart, is de-
scended, settled in Lincolnshire, and was advanced to the
dignity of the peerage by queen Elizabeth, who, on sending
sir Thos. Burroughs, then a K.G., to Ireland, as lord-de-
puty, created him a peer. Thomas, lord Burroughs, who,
in some of the Peerages, is styled lord Burrough, and in
others, Borgh, and Borough, </. in the government, without
male issue, when the title became extinct, and his estates.

rough families : he was accompanied to Ireland by a colla-

Sir John was originally intended for the study of the

changed into the 40th Regiment of Foot, on that Regiment
being ordered to America ; after his return from America,

of Wales's Regiment), and was advanced, by the brevet
promotions, to the rank of Colonel ; in 1794 he accompa-
nied the Earl of Moira on his Expedition to the Continent ;
on his return was placed at the head of the War Depart-
ment in Ireland under the successive administrations of
the Earls Fitzwilliam and Camden ; he was appointed a
Brigadier-General on the Staff in 1797 ; was sent to

ed
DOYLE. 1045
<ei? from that of *6' Toole, lords and princes of Imale, co.
Wicklow, which county was then divided between this
powerful sept and that of the Byrnes. Tirlogh O' Toole
and his brother Art petitioned king Henry VIII. to be re-
stored to the territory of Fercullen, from which their an*
cestor had been expelled by the earls of Kildare, and pro-
mised, if taken into favour and restored, to become loyal
subjects, and to hold their estates by knights' service, to
be obedient to the lairs, wear the English apparel, teach their
children the English language ; and, in short, would do all
such services as were customary with the Walshes, Archi-
balds, and Harolds, and other English families of their
neighbourhood in the march of Dublin, to do. The king
granted their petition, and restored to Art the manor of
Castle-Kevin; and the castle and manor of Powerscourt
were granted to Tirlogh-Barnaby O' Toole, son and heir of
Art, who joined with his brother-in-law, Pheah-M'Hugh
O 'Byrne, in the rebellion of Hugh, earl of Tyrone, for-
feited this property, at present the most beautiful and
best cultivated in Ireland, and it was granted to various
persons ; Powerscourt being given to Wingfield, esq.,
ancestor to the viscounts Powerscourt (in the Peerage of
Ireland).

ABNEY-HASTINGS.
HASTINGS. I0o7
ABNEY-HASTINGS,of Willesley, co. Derby.
28 Feb. 1806.
Sir CHARLES ABNEY-HASTINGS, of Willesley, in
co. Derby, born 1 Oct. 1792, succeeded his father, Ge-
neral Sir Charles, G.C.H. 30 Sept. 1823. Sir Charles, pre-
sent and 2d Bart. ; out of respect to the memory of his ma-
ternal grand-father, Thomas Abney, of Willesley, in co,
of Derby, Esq., and as being the representative of the
elder branch of the ancient family of Abney, of Willesley,
obtained his Majesty's royal licence and authority that he
and his descendants might take and use the sir-name, and
bear the arms of Abney, in addition to his own, and that
his brother, Frank Hastings, Esq., might likewise use the
same.
The family of Abney is of great antiquity in co. Derby;
they were seated at Abney in the Peak (from whence they
take their name) about the time of the conquest. The 1st
of the family that is mentioned as living at Willesley, is
John Abbeney, or de Abeney, in 1318. The family of
Wiveleslie (the ancient name of Willesley) was possessed
of the lordship at a very early period. In the year 1160,
Michael de Wiveleslie, was lord of the manor, and granted
lands to John de Yngwereby then living at Willesley ; Ni-
cholas de Yngwereby, his son, m. Cecilia Wychard de
Meysam, widow of Nicholas Wychard, and da. of sir Wm.
de Meysam, from whom, and from the Wiveleslies he
obtained further grants of land at Willesley. His son
William, m. about 1290, Albreda de Wiveseleye, or
Wiveiislie,da. of Michael, and sister of Ado de Wiveseleye,
and obtained the rest of the lands together with the lord-
ship. They were succeeded by their son Nicholas, who m.
Isabella, and was succeeded by William their son, who
was succeeded by his only son William de Ingewardeby de
Willesleye, who left 2 das., co-heirs of his estates ; the eld-
est, about the year 1400, m. Jno. de Abney, or Abbeney,
and brought into that family the manors of Willesley and
Potlock, co. Derby ; with lands in Packington, co. Leicester.
The 2d da. was m. to Thos. Stokes, esq., of Tamworth.
This John de Abney, on his m. took the aims of Inge-
wardeby,
1058 HASTINGS.
wardeby, viz. a demi-lion, rampant; he was the son of Wil-
liam, who was the son of John, the 1st mentioned as living
at Willesley. They were succeeded by their son William
de Abeney, lord of Willesley, who was succeeded by his
son John, who d. in 1505. George, his son, m. Ellen da.
of Wolseley of Wolseley, co. Stafford, esq., ancestor of the
present bart of that name, and left 5 sons. From the 3d
son Robert, is descended the 2d branch, or Abneys of
Newton Burguland, now seated at Measham, co. Derby.
George the eldest son, d., and was succeeded by his bro-
ther James, who m. Mary, da. and heir of Henry Mil-
ward, esq., ofDowbridge. George Abney, their son and
successor, suffered much in his estate during the civil
wars ; he m. Margery, da. and co-heir of Michael Lowe,
of Tymore, co. Stafford. He had 2 sisters, the eldest m.
Sir Edvvd. Bromley, baron of the Exchequer, and the 2d,
Richd. Adderley, of Coton, esq. George, d. in 1645, aged
95, and was succeeded by his eldest son James, high sheriff
of Derbyshire, 1655. He m. Jane, da. of Edwd. Mainwaring
of Witmore, co. Stafford, esq., and deceased in 1693, in his
94th year, leaving issue by her, 3 sons, and 1 da. The eldest,
George, d. before his father. Sir Edward his 2d son and suc-
cessor, doctor of civil law, was a gentleman of high esteem
in the co. Derby; for which he served the office of high
sheriff, and was returned member for Leicester, in 2 suc-
cessive parliaments. He had issue by his 2d wife, Judith,
da. and co-heir of Peter Bar, merchant of London, 2 sons.
Sir Edward's youngest and only surviving brother, Thomas,
settled in London, and rose to the highest offices of the city.
He was elected an alderman in 1693, and one of the sheriffs
of London and Middlesex the same year, lord-mayor in the
year 1700 ; and, subsequently one of the representatives in
parliament for the city. These offices he filled with high
honour to himself, during a period of great difficulty. By
the energy of his conduct at the most critical period of his
mayoralty, he promoted the quiet settlement of the crown
of Great Britain in the protestant line; securing thereby
the tranquillity of his country, and consulting the best in-
terests of the state; the following year, himself and his
elder brother sir Edward had the happiness of voting in
parliament in favour of the act (for which his patriotic con-
duct in his high offices had materially paved the way) to
establish more firmly the protestant succession to the throne.
This act received the royal assent the day before the king
rf., by which means the crown was secured to that illus-
trious
HASTINGS. 1059
trious family, which now so gloriously wears it. Sir Thomas
was knighted by king William, he was likewise the princi-
pal person concerned in founding the Back of England;
but what, perhaps, redounds as much as any thing to his
credit and that of his lady, was their patronage and pro-
tection for a period of nearly 36 years of that excellent
person Dr. Tsaac Watts, at whose house he constantly re-
sided, and where (to use the words of the celebrated Dr.
Johnson) u with a constancy of friendship, and uniformity
of conduct not often to be found, he was treated with all
the kindness that friendship could prompt, and respect
could dictate; a coalition in which the notions of patronage
and dependence were overpowered by the perception of
reciprocal benefits, that deserves most particular notice."
Sir Thomas d. aged 83, father of the city of London, presi-
dent of St. Thomas's hospital, and one of the directors of the
bank of England. He left issue by his 2d wife, Mary
Gunston, sister and co-heir of Thos. Gunston, lord of the
manor of Stoke Newington, and an eminent merchant of
London, 1 son and 3 das., who all d. without issue. Sir
Edward Abney's only sister Abigail m. Ralph Cotton of
Bellaport, co. Salop, esq., and had issue, Roland Cotton, of
Etwall, co. Derby, who d., leaving issue, 2 sons and 3 das.,
the eldest da. m. Henry Ayre, of Rowther, co. Derby, esq.,
the 2d, Lynch Cotton, of Ryhall, co. Chester, esq., and the
3d, Robert, 6lh earl of Ferrers, who was father of Robert,
7th and present earl, and of the hon. Washington Shirley. Sir
Edward d. in 1631, aged 96; his eldest son and successor
dying unm. : the estates descended to his 2d son, sir Thomas,
who was brought up to the law ; and after filling many high
and important situations as a law officer of the crown, was
nominated a judge of the court of common pleas, in which
office he d. of the remarkable jail fever, that carried off
most of the prisoners and many of the judges, 19 May 1750.
Sir Thomas was succeeded by his only son Thomas (by
Frances, da. of Joshua Burton, of Brackley, co. Northamp-
ton, esq.) b. 2 Jan. 1725 (the 11th in descent from John de
Abney) ra. Parnell Villiers, da. and co-heir of George

as the celebrated general Monk, duke of Albemarle. The
Viliierses of Hanburg, are a younger branch of the great
family of that name once seated at Brookesby, co. Leicester,
from whom descended the Viliierses, earls of Jersey. Tho-

The ancient family of Scott has been seated at Great Barr,
co. Stafford, from the reign of Edward I. In 1296, Thomas
U Scott, ancestor of the present bart., who was in the suite
of John Baliol, king of Scotland, when that monarch was
detained a prisoner in London, and restrained, with the rest
of his countrymen, from passing to the north of the river
Trent, under pain of losing their heads, fixed himself as

near that stream as the thick forest of Cannock (at present
stripped of its woods) would then allow. From that period
to the present, the family have lived in a substantial and
honourable independence, intermarried with divers families
of note, occasionally dividing itself into vaiious heads
and collateral branches. The lands possessed by these
several families (of which, in 1690, there were not less than
9, all freeholders) are, for the most part, now centred
(the name of Scott entirely) in the present bart.

FRASER, of Leadclune and Morar, co. Inverness.
27 Nov. 1806.
Sir WILLIAM FRASER, Bart., succeeded his father,
Sir William, 16 Feb. 1818.
The family distinguished by the surname of Fraser are of
great antiquity in Scotland, although they are unquestion-
ably of Celtic or Gaelic origin, and came from Provence
and Languedoc at one era, and from Brittany and Nor-
mandy at another. French history mentions, that Julian de
Berrie,on the 10th of April 916, presented Charles, king
of France, at An Bergne, near Bourbon, a basket of ripe
strawberries, which were so much thought of, that he gave
him
1070 PHASER.
him the surname of Frase, afterwards written Fraisau, and
Fraizel, in France, by the great families of Guise and
Froizeller, dukes of that kingdom, the marquess Montag-
nard, and many others, whose armorial bearings are dis-
tinguished by strawberries on their shield, in like manner
as they are sculptured, and remain to this day on the cross
of Peebles.
Sir George M'Kenzie, lord-advocate of Scotland, and
other antiquaries, justly say, that one of this family came
iuto Scotland with the embassy from Charlemagne in 807,
and was created the 1st thane of Man, the lineal ancestor
of Oliver Fraser, or Frizel, 13th thane of Man, who built
Oliver Castle, in Tweed's Muir, and erected it into a con-
stabulary, and is to this day first called over in the roll of
Peebles.
Sir Simon Fraser having thrice saved the life and re-
mounted king Robert de Brus, in the battle of Methven,
had the 3 crowns quartered into his armorial bearings.
The loyalty, fidelity, and martial achievements acquired
by the Frasers at Roslin, Inverness, Perth, Edinburgh,
Bannockburn, &c, are well recorded in history, and led to
the alliance with king Robert's sister, who was twice mar-
ried; by which marriages, sir John Campbell, ancestor of
Argyll, and sir Alexander, son of sir Simon Fraser, ancestor
of Lovat, were uterine brothers, and related to all the no-
bility of both kingdoms, as appears by the grants and char-
ters preserved and described by Mr. Robertson, in the
register-office, Edinburgh, page 19, Register, No. 145,
Charters of king Robert de Brus ; " Marie, sponse Alex-
andri Fraser, militis sorori nostre dilecte, et Johanne
Campbell, filio suo nepoti nostro, pro herangio et servitio,
omnes terras et tenementa, que fuerunt, Davidis, Comiti
Atholiae, in comitatu Athole, que idem David Foris fecit."
In the reign of king Alexander III., sir Simon Fraser, son
of sir Bernard Fraser, lineally descended from thane Oliver,
was gifted with the lordship of Loveth (vulgo, Norvich), by
charter, dated at Dunfermline, 1253, and appointed, with
his brother, sir Francis Fraser, and William Fraser, arch-
bishop of St. Andrew's, and lord-chancellor of Scotland,
along with his cousin sir Richard Fraser, auditors in the
competition for the crown of Scotland between Bruce and
Baliol, 1291.
From lord Hugh Fraser, created by king James I. of
Scotland, lord Fraser, of Loveth, 3 March 1426, descend
lineally the lords Loveth, or Lovat ; and from Alexander,
FRASER. 1071
2d son to lord Hugh Fraser, of Lovat, descended Alexander
Fraser, of Farraline, father of Hugh Fraser, of Leadclune,
esq., called Hustan More, father of Hugh Fraser, called
Hustan Ogg, father of William Fraser, esq., a 3d son, who
had issue, by his 2d wife, of the family of Keith Marschall,
sir William, 1st bart., as above mentioned, and an only da.,
Jane, m., 1763, to thehon. col. Archibald-Campbell Fraser,

Greenwich
THOMPSON. 1073
Greenwich Hospital, married 25 Feb. 1799, Anne, eldest
daughter of Robert Raikes, of Gloucester, Esq., by whom,
who was b. 17 Sept., 1771, he has issue, 1. Anne, b. 17 June,
1800; 2. Thomas Bouldeu, d. young; 3. Thomas- Raikes-
Tiigge, b. 1 April 1804 ; 4. Thomas-John, d. in 1807 ; and
5. a daughter, b. in Sept. 1810.
Sir Thomas entered into the R.N. in 1778 ; in Nov. 1790
he was made Post, and was afterwards employed, with the
immortal Nelson and others, in the attack on Santa Cruz, in
the island of Teneriffe; in which, notwithstanding it
proved unsuccessful, an intrepidity was displayed by the
officers and men that was never surpassed, and the gallant
Nelson lost his right arm on the occasion. The share which Sir
Thomas had in the Battle of the Nile was mentioned offi-
cially with the highest respect : the heroism of his cha-
racter and the vigour of his genius were afterwards fully
manifested in his subsequent engagement in the disabled
Leander, though but of 50 guns, with the French ship, le
Genereux, of 74 ; on which occasion he did not yield until
he had given his foe a severe experiment of British prow-
ess. On his return to England, after being exchanged, he
received the honor of knighthood, 13 Feb., 1797, and a
pension of £300. per annum : he also participitated in the
victory of Copenhagen in 1801, in which he had the mis-
fortune to lose a leg. Sir Thomas was created a Baronet
as above, with, we believe, his pension increased from
£300. to £500. per annum.

Thompson, b. at Hull, 20 Nov. 1738, entered into the naval

1759 he was in the Dorsetshire, when the British fleet,
under the command of admiral lord Haivke, gained the glo-
rious victory over Conflans. Being the intimate friend of
the celebrated Charles Churchill, in the leisure of peace

ducted the Royal Family of Naples from Palermo to Leg-
horn, on which occasion he received a gold box and valu-
able ring from the amiable but ill-fated sister of the much-
lamented Maria-Antoinette, Queen of France. In 1805
Sir Edward made an extraordinary escape from the French

13 Dec. 1806.
Sir DAVID SCOTT, Bart., succeeded his uncle, Sir
James Sibbald, 17 Sept. 1819, agreeable to the limitation

It appears from sir Robert Sibbald's " History of Scot-
land," that the name of Sibbald is very ancient in North
Britain : it appears from the same author, that Duncauus
Sibbald was witness to the charter of Rogerus Comes de
Winton, to Syerus de Seton, temp. Alexander II., in 1246 ;
and in the same year Donatus Sibbald is witness to the
charter of the same earl of Winton, to Adam de Seton, de
Moritagio heredisalani de Fauside. Matthens Sybbald is
testis to several charters of Duncan, the last earl of Fife,
of the Macduff's ; and Thomas Sybald Miles is testis in
several charters in the reign of king Robert II., particu-
larly that writ of alienation of the earldom of Fyfe, by
Isabella, Cometisa de Fyfe, to Robert Stewart, earl of
Monteith, 1371 ; and a charter of the same king Robert to
ThomasSibbald de quinque Marcis,aunuiredditus defirmis

Sir FRANCIS-EDWARD SCOTT, born 25 Feb. 1824,
inherited the title of baronet by virtue of the limitations in
the patent granted to his maternal grandfather Sir Hugh
Bateman, who d. 28 Jan. 1824.
The name of Bateman appears in the reign of Edward
III., when William Bateman, bishop of Norwich (and
founder of Trinity-Hall, Cambridge), was sent to Avignon
to lay before the pope his claim to the crown of France ;
and Bartholomew Bateman, member for Norfolk, 1338,

the city of London, and suffered considerable losses from
the great fire in 1666, when the duke of York (amongst
other efforts for the assistance of the public upon that me-
lancholy occasion) exerted himself much to save sir Tho-
mas Bateman' s house, in Coleman-street, from the flames.

JONES (late TYRWHITT), of Stanley-Half., co. Salop.
3 Oct. 1808.
Sir THOMAS-JOHN-TYRWHITT JONES, Bart., born
12 July
JONES-
1-2 July 1793, succeeded his father, Sir Thomas, 24 Nov.
1811, M.P. in the present Parliament for Bridgenortb ;
married June 1821, Elizabeth Walwyn, youngest daughter
of the late John Macnamara, of the Island of St. Christo-
pher, Esq.
The family of Tyrivhitt is of very ancient establishment
in England, and has been much celebrated for the scien-
tific knowledge and literary works of some of its later in-
dividuals.
Robert Tyrivhitt, in the reign of king Edward II., possess-
ed the lordship of Kettleby, whose son, sir William Tyrwhitt,
by the da. and heiress of Gravett, became father or
sir Robert, and he of sir William ; whose grandson, sir Ro-
bert, had issue, sir William, of Kettleby, who was buried
in Lincoln cathedral 1322. Some of the individuals of this
family were high sheriffs, co. York, 1435, and of Lincoln ill
1481.
Thomas Tyrivhitt, son of the rev. Dr. Tynvhitt (by the
eldest da. of Edmund Gibson, lord bishop of London) pur-
sued the study of the law, and was called to the bar at the
commencement of the war, 1756 ; he accepted the office of
deputy-secretary at war, under his friend, William, 2d
visct. Harrington ; 1762 he succeeded Jeremiah Dyson,
esq. as principal clerk of the house of commons ; but the
constant fatigues and late hours of that office proved too
much for his health ; and at the close of the three years he
resigned it to John Hatsell, esq., the person who at present
so ably fills that arduous situation. He became F.R. and
A.S.S., and d. 15 Aug. 1786, having been highly distinguish-
ed for his extraordinary share of classical learning and cri-
tical acumen, besides a knowledge of almost every Eu-
ropean tongue. Mr. Tynvhitt was deeply conversant in
the learning of Greece and Rome, of which latter acquisi-
tion some valuable tracts are indubitable testimony : he was
also thoroughly acquainted with the old English writers,,
and his critical efforts were zealously directed to restore the
genuine text of Shakespeare.
The family of Jones is, doubtless, of ancient British ori*
gin; and wherever its possessors might at various periods
have fixed themselves, still their primary connexioRs may
be traced to some part or other of Wales. Under this sup-
position, the opportunity is here made use of in noticing
the very celebrated sir William Jones, late chief-justice m

Bengal ; a connexion rather flattering than the contrary to
the present family, even should it prove erroneous. The
origin of sir William Jones's family, on the maternal side,
has been traced to the ancient princes and chieftains of
North Wales. It may be sufficient to observe, that the
father of sir William was William Jones, the celebrated ma-
thematician, born in Anglesea, 1675, who so eminently
distinguished himself in the commencement of the last cen-
tury, and was honoured with the friendship of the great earl
of Hardwicke, sir Isaac Newton, the earl of Macclesfield,
and many other distinguished persons. By his wife, Mary
Knix, he had 3 children, the youngest of whom was the
above sir William Jones, knt. ; his father d. in 1749, of a
disorder wholly incurable, a polypus of the heart.
I. Sir THOMAS-JONES, b. 1 Sept. 1765 ; and in 1790,
in pursuance of the will of his cousin, sir Thomas Jones, of
Stanley-hall, co. of Salop, knt., took the name and arms of
J ties only, by the king's sign manual, created a bart. 3

As to the antiquity of this family in England, it is well
known that Corbeau, or Corbet, a noble Norman, came over
with William the Conqueror, in whose reign he was one of
the principal persons entrusted and employed under Roger,
earl of Shrewsbury, in his co. of Salop, together with Ro-
bert and Roger, two of his sons, of whom Ordoricus Vitalis,
who was a contemporary author, gives a character, that
" the said earl was a prudent and moderate man, a great
lover of equity, and of discreet and modest person;" and
adds, " he being freely assisted by the wisdom and courage
of the said Corbet, and his 2 sons, Robert and Roger (among
other principal persons) was as glorious amougst the great-
est nobles as any of them all, by keeping the Welsh in awe,
and the whole province in peace."
Roger, eldest son, gave Wentelage to the Benedictine
monks, of the great abbey in the east part of Shrewsbury,
which was built there in 1083, and is styled by Rapin, and
other writers, St. Bennet's, to which William and Everard,
his sons, were consenting ; at the same time Robe: t, his
brother, bestowed on the monks of the said abbey, Nute-
nore, with the tithes of that town, and the tithes of Joche-
Hulle, as also the town of Lochestone.
The above-named Robert had a son, Robert, lord of Al-
cester, co. Warwick, who d. without issue ; and 2 das.
Sandford styles him sir Robert, and says, that " Sybil, one
of his das., had a son, Reginald, created baron of Castle-
comb and earl of Cornwall ; and from her, by Hen. Fitzher-
bert, chamberlain to Henry I., are descended the noble fa-
mily of Herbert, earls of Pembroke, and other peers of this
family ;" and Philpot says, from the said " Sybil Corbet are
descended the noble family of the Pinches, earls of Win-
chilsea and Nottingham, Sec, of the said family." From
Alice, another da. of sir Robert, who m. Wm. Botreaux, of
Boscastle, the noble family of the earls of Huntingdon are
descended. The said Roger Corbet, brother of Robert, had
F f 2 issue.
1088 CORBET.
issue, Wm. Corbet, of Wattlesborough and Caits-Castle ;
and Everard. Their cousin William (frequently styled Cor-
bet) was a monk of the above mentioned abbey at Shrews-
bury, afterwards prior of Chich,co. Essex, founded in 1120,
by kichd. de Baums, bishop of London, from whence he
was, in 1123, translated to the see of Canterbury, in which
he continued till 1136, when he d. during his primacy.
Part of his cathedral was burnt, which the archbishop re-
paired at his own expense, then invited the king, queen,
David, king of Scots, and the nobility of both kingdoms, to
the dedication, which he celebrated in their presence, 4 May
1130, being Rogation Sunday, with such solemnities, that
the like was never equalled since the dedication of the Tem-
ple of Jerusalem by Solomon ; in and at which dedication
the church's name was changed from the church of the Holy
Trinity to Christ's Church, which last name it continues to
this day. The above-named William, eldest son of the said
Roger Corbet, had also 2 sons, Thomas of Wattlesborough,
and Robert of Cans.
Thomas, eldest son, who travelled into foreign countries,
left his lands in custody of his brother, Robert of Cans.
From the said Thomas, of Wattlesborough, are descended
the present sir Andrew Corbet, of Moreton-Corbet, bart.; and
sir Corbet Corbet, of Stoke and Adderly ; and from Robert,
of Caus, the Corbets of Leigh and Hope descended, also the
Corbets of Newton, Leighton, Slindom, and Lougnor. Sir
Richard Corbet is in the register of those noblemen and
gentlemen who accompanied king Richard I. to the siege
of Aeon ; since which we find nineteen of this family in the
rolls of those who served in the several battles, sieges, and
actions following : viz. at Agincourt, Grafton, the sacking
of Cadiz, and in the several wars against the Welsh, Scots,
French, and others, in the reigns of Hen. III., Edw. I.,
Edw. II., Edw. III., Hen. V., Edw. IV., Hen. VII., and
Hen. VIII. In 1192 sir FuUc Corbet was knighted: be-
tween which period and 1625, we find seventy-one knights
of this family, of which Roger was a knight-banneret, 1344.
Another Roger was knighted in the field beside Tewkes-
bury, 4 May . Robert was the seventh knight of the
bath of fifty-seven knights made at the marriage of prince
Arthur 1498. In 1231, upon complaint from Llewellin,
prince of Albeth, against Thos. Corbet, and others, the king
returns an answer, dated at Baldoff, Feb. 20, eodem anno,
whereby he clears him of the said charge. The said Tho-
iiws was one of the baron marchers 1232. To the above-
named
CORBET. 1089
named Thomas, among other baron-marchers, 1237, the king
sent his precept, dated March 8, at Tewkesbury, to attend
him at Oxford, upon Tuesday next after the octave of Eas-
ter, there to consult touching prince Llewellin's taking
homage of the great men in Wales: the said Thomas also
attended the king 1256 in his expedition into Wales, and
had command to assist Hamon L'Estrange in preventing the
incursions of the Welsh towards Montgomery; and 1257 to
fit himself with horse and arms to attend the king at Ches-
ter, on Monday next after the feast of St. John the Baptist,
thence to march against the Welsh, then in hostility. The
said Thomas, who m. Isabel, da of Reginald, and sister of
Roger Valletort, baron of Haberton, her brother giving with
her, in free marriage, thirty-three knights' fees and a half*
belonging to the said barony ; d. in 1291. From him de-
scended Peter Corbet, who had summons forthwith to at-
tend the king, to advise in parliament about the most im-
portant affairs of the realm. The said Peter was summoned
by writ, dated Canterbury, 3 Oct. 1294, to attend the king's
brother at Plymouth, upon All Saints' Day, in order for
them to sail thence to carry on the wars in France.
15 July 1295, Peter Corbet was witness to an instrument
in custody of the chamberlain of the exchequer, whereby
several noblemen of Scotland renounce a confederacy be-
tween the king of France and themselves ; and the said
Peter was again, 1296, in the wars against France ; 1298 he
was found to be one of the next heirs of Roger Valletort, a
great baron in the west: the same Peter, barcn, &c. d.
seised of the manor of Denneweston, a member of the ba-
rony of Caus, &c, 1299, after having been summoned to
parliament in 1294, 6, 8, and 9. From the aforesaid Peter
descended Peter Corbet, another baron of the realm (Tho-
mas d. during the lifetime of his father ; and John, b. 1297),
to whom, 1301, the king sent a summons with John, earl
of Surrey, and others, concerning his army in Scotland :
in 1304 Henry de Pomroy and Peter Corbet made seisin of
the manor of Tremington, and the advowson of the church,
together with the borough of Aih, the manor of Calistock,
and the advowson of the church, and fifty, or fifty-four,
knights' fees in Cornwall and Devonshire ; which by writ,
dated April 6, was sent to the judges ; on which occasion was
produced a grant from Roger Valletort of the premises, and
of Sutton and Makaton to Richard, king of the Romans
and earl of Cornwall, and to the heirs of his body, who dy-
ing without issue, the king entered upon his lands, against
f t 3 which
1690 CORBET,
which they prayed relief, which complaint the judges re-
mitted to the parliament, and the parliament remitted it to
the judges. The said Peter gave his ancient seat of New-
ton, formerly called Brown-Castle, a garrison to Caus, and
the township thereto belonging, to his nephew sir Roht.
Corbet, for his great and good services : in 1326 writs
were issued, dated at Ramsay, summoning persons to ap-
pear at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, the Monday after the As-
cension, to attend the king's service in his expedition into
Scotland; on which occasion Pvyce Corbet, of Caus, was
summoned among others : 2 Oct. 1336, William, earl of
Northampton, was commissioned to treat with Philip, king
of France, touching king Edward's right to that crown ;
on which occasion the said sir Robert Corbet, of Newton,
going with the earl, had letters of protection, which pro-
tection was afterwards renewed by letters patent, dated
at the Tower of London, 3 May 1337 : 14 July 1344, the
king summoned several to attend him with horse and arms
at the feast of St. Laurence, and sail along with him into
France ; on which occasion a writ was directed to Hugh
Courtney, earl of Devon, &c; Roger Corbet, of the co,
Salop, knight and banneret, &c; and 5 Dec. 1362, Wal-
ter Corbet had letters of safe conduct to come to England,
with two persons to attend him. In 1401 sir Robert Corbet
was the king's chamberlain, and one of the proxies of
lady Phillippa, the king's da., for her marriage with Er-
lick, king of Denmark ; the proxy was dated at the prince
of Wales's castle, 14 May 1404; in 1235, Brickmarsh, co.
Warwick, was the inheritance of Wm. Corbet, of Chad-
desJey-Corbet, co. of Worcester. Queen Elizabeth, in 1574,
made sir Roht. Corbet her envoy to the king of Spain, &c.
In order to point out the descent of the families of More-
ton-Corbet, Stoke, and Adderly, the reader must revert to
Thomas Corbet, eldest son of William Corbet, of Wattles-
borough and Caus, who, while on his travels, left his lands
in custody of his brother Robert, of Caus-Castle: this Ro-
bert left issue sir Roger, who, by his first wife, was father
of sir Richard Corbet, knt., who m. Joan, da. and heiress
of Burtholomevj Tiwrct, of Moreton, and had issue Richard,

WOOD, of Gatton, co. Surrey.
3 Oct. 1803.
Sir MARK WOOD, created a Baronet, as above, holds
the rank of Colonel in the East India Company's service,
and is M.P. for Gatton. Sir Mark, on the decease of John
Wood, Esq., late Governor and Captain-General of the Isle
of Man, without issue male, became the heir male and re-
presentative of the ancient Woods of Largo, and chief of
the name; and, 18 Aug. 1809, Sir Mark obtained a grant
from the Lyon-Office, Edinburgh, of the arms granted to
Sir William : married miss Dashwood, of co. Somerset, and
has issue, Mark; and Rachael, m., 13 June 1816, William-
Joseph Lockwood, of Dews-Hall, co. Essex, Esq.
There have been several families of this name in North
Britain, from which country the present family derives its
origin, the Woods of Colpny, co. Aberdeen ; of B»ynton, ba-
ronets; of Craig, of La go, of Grangehaugh, &c; all of
whom bore trees or boughs in their armorial bearings, in al-
lusion to their ancient name, de Boieo, so written in various
early evidences, writs, and records, particularly in a charter
of king William to the town of Inverness, in the 2d year of
his reign, and several charters of king Alexander II. ; in the
former of which we find the names of Willitlmiis de Boreo,
cancellarius regis, and Hugo de Boreo, mentioned as wit-
nesses; and in the latter, Thomas de Boreo, in the same
capacity. The immediate ancestor of the branch of the
Woods now under consideration was
Alexander Hood, of Perth, co. Fife, esq., a lineal descend-
ant from the Woods of Largo, who d. 1778, leaving issue,
1. sir Mark, present hart.; 2. sir George, K.C.B., of Ot-
tershaw Park, co. Surrey, col. in the Bengal infantry ; 3.
sir James, knt., entered at an early age into the R.N.; in
Dec. 1806, he was appointed to assist in the expedition des-
tined against Curaroa, which surrendered to the British
arms

arms in Jan. 180? : lie was second in command on this gal-
lant enterprise ; for his spirited conduct in which he re-
ceived a gold medal and the honour of knighthood.
Andrew, who entered into the R.N. at the same time with
his brother, sir James, and went to India some time sub-
sequent to the peace in 1783. At the period when a war
was expected with Spain, lie was sent, by order of govern-
ment, in the command, as a lieutenant of a small vessel, to
the Streights of Sunda, for the purpose of informing thirty
rich East India ships of the circumstance. Unfortunately
his ship was wrecked at the entrance of the Streights, and
with difficulty he and his crew escaped to the shore : im-
pressed, however, with a strong sense of the importance of
his mission, he took an open boat, and in defiance of the
elements and of the Malays (who murdered more than half
of his crew), he cruised in the Streights during three months,
and succeeded in giving the necessary information to twen-
ty-nine sail out of the thirty. Approving highly of his dili-
gence and intrepidity, marquess Cornwallis, sir Archibald
Campbell, and sir Win. Meadows, K.B., concurred in re-
commending him for promotion. Anxious to reach England,
Mr. Wood bought a boat of less than 5 tons, had her decked,
and with 3 Lascars on board, embarked for the Cape of
Good Hope, where he safely arrived after a passage of 63
days. Not finding any ship at the Cape that was proceed-
ing to England, conceiving the most perilous part of his
voyage to be over, he again embarked in his small boat with
three foreign seamen ; but, to the deep regret of all who
knew him, he has never since been heard of. The 5th son
was Thomas, who d. abroad, leaving a da. Elizabeth.
I. Sir MARK, the eldest son, was created a hart. 3 Oct.

Right Hon. Sir GORE OUSELEY, Bart., Knight of the
Russian Order of St. Alexander Neuski, Knight of the Sun
and Lion of Persia; born 24 June 1770 ; married 12 April
1806, Harriet-Georgiana, daughter of John Whitelocke,
Esq., and has issue, 1. Mary-Jane, b. 28 March 1807;
2. Wellesley-Abbas, b. at Tabriz, (ancient Tauris), 3 Aug.
1813; and Alexandrine, b. at St. Petersburg, 6 Oct. 1814;
the Ceremony of the Baptism was performed 30 Nov. in the
Palace of the Empress Dowager of all the Russias, who
was one of the Sponsors. Sir Gore was (10 March 1810)
appointed Ambassador Extraordinary and Minister Pleni-
potentiary at the Court of his Majesty the King of Persia.
The family of Ouseley, Ousley, and Owesley, according to
the crude orthography of early times, is of high antiquity,
and was formerly divided into many branches. The prin-
cipal stock, or elder line, seem to have fixed themselves
in Shropshire; and to have intermarried with several
ancient houses, as the Brays, Conways, Staffords, Salisburys,
&c. Richard Ouseley, the undoubted ancestor of the present
bart, whom, in 1571, we find lord of the manor of Courtein-
Hall, co. Northampton, m. 1st, the relict of sir Miles Par-
tridge, and by her had no issue, and 2dly Magdalen, da.
of John Wake, and by her (who survived him 9 years) had
12 children. This John was grandson of Roger Wake, of
Blisworth, co. Northampton, who was distinguished by the
appellation of " the great Wakef and through this mar-
riage the posterity of Richard Ousely descended from
many of the most ancient and illustrious families in Eng-
land. It appears from the will of Richard Ouseley, which
OUSELEY. 1099
was proved in the prerogative court of Canterbury, that
he received the manor of Courtein-Hali in gift from the
crown ; and he speaks of it in that document as a very in-
adequate reward for ''50 years' service", probably in the
army ; he d. 10 July 1580.
John Ouseley, the eldest of his numerous issue, succeeded
to his estates, and was knighted by James I., 23 July
1603. He embraced in early life the military profession,
and is frequently mentioned by the more minute historians
of that period as captain of 100 men. It appears from
" Purchas's Pilgrim" (vol. i. p. 1925), that, in 1589, the
earl of Essex, then commanding the English in Portugal,
sent captain Ouseley (undoubtedly the gentleman of whom
we are speaking), envoy to the emperor of Morocco : he wi.
Martha, da. of Bartholomew Tate, of Delapre Abbey, near
Northampton, esq. (the present seat of Edward Bouverie,
esq.,) and dying in the prime of life at the siege of Breda,
where he had a command, was buried at Williamstadt.
Sir John was succeeded by his eldest son, Richard, who,
about the year 1650, sold the manor of Courtein-Hall to sir
William Jones, knt., who bequeathed it to William Wake,
esq., from whom it passed, by inheritance, to sir William
Wake, bart., the present possessor. Richard Ouseley m.
Mary, da. of Mark Parker, of Olney, or Underwood, co.

1625, and dying without issue, was succeeded by his next
brother, Jasper, who m. Sarah, da. of Chambers, of
the kingdom of Ireland, and left a son, Jasper, b. in 1660,

Sir ALEXANDER HOOD, Bart., succeeded his uncle

navigated the globe with capt. Cook, and served many
years with indefatigable zeal and great reputation, and was
killed on board the Mars, 21 April 1793, at the close of a
successful action with the French ship l'Hcrcule, a victory

that will ever exalt the national glory of Great Britain, m.
Elizabeth, da. of John Periam, of Butley Wooton, co. So-
merset, and had issue by her (who survived him) an only
son Alexander, the present bart. ; and 3. Samuel, K.B.,
K.T.S., and K.F., anxious to pursue the paths of naval ho-
nour he entered at the age of 14 as midshipman on board
the Courageux, then commanded by Samuel, the present
visct. Hood. In this ship, and the Robust, commanded
by the late visct. Bridport, K.B., he remained until 1779;
having, in 1798, been present, in the latter ship, at the
capture of the two French frigates, the Pallas and the
Licorne ; and in the same year shared in the memorable
engagement between adml. Keppel and D'Orvilliers, when
he had the honour of serving as aide-de-camp to the capt.
of the Robust.
In 1780, Mr. Hood having removed to the Lively sloop,
was present at the capture of la Duchesse de Chaitres, a
French privateer, after a short action. At the latter end
of this year, lord Hood having hoisted a rear-adml's. flag
in the Barfleur, Mr. Hood accompanied him as acting lieut.
and lieut. until the 31st of Jan. 1782 (when he was pro-
moted to the rank of commander, and appointed to the Re-
nard sloop) intermediately exerting himself in the battle
with De Grasse, off Martinique, 29 April 1781 ; in that of
the Chesapeake on the following 5th of September ; and in
the actions at St. Kitts on the 25th and 26th of Jan. Not-
withstanding his recent appointment, as the Renard was
only a convalescent ship, he was present at the actions of
the 9th and 12th of April 1782 ; and on the 19th of the same
month, at the capture of a French squadron in the Mona
passage. During this year also he met with a very serious
accident: when the Barfleur was lying in Port Royal har-
bour, in Jamaica, a fire having broken out in a merchant-
man not very distant, capt. Hood was actively employed in
the hold in making some necessary clearance to enable the
Barfleur to escape out of the reach of the flames, when a
hawser, suddenly removed from the spot where he stood,
materially injured one of his legs, the consequences of which
he felt to his death.
From this period, in consequence of the peace, capt.
Hood was placed in a state of inactivity, until 1785, when
he was appointed to the Weazle sloop, and directed to sur-
vey the coasts and harbours on the Halifax station. For his
vigilance and activity in this service he obtained a post
captain's commission, and the command of the Thisbe fri-
g g 3 gate ;
1102 HOOD.
gate ; in which he returned to England in 1789. In 1790
lie was appointed to the Juno, and ordered to Jamaica: on
tiiis station, however, nothing particular occurred until the
following year, when, at his personal risk, in a small boat,
and in a violent hurricane, he had the gratification of res-
cuing three men from a wreck at sea. Perceiving some
hesitation on the part of his sailors to dare the waves, he
was the first to enter the boat, undauntedly exclaiming, " J
never gave an order to a sailor in my life which I was not ready
to undertake and execute myself."
For this gallant and humane exertion, the government of
Jamaica remitted the sum of 100 guineas, for the purchase
of a sword, to their agent in London ; which, on capt. Hood's
return to England, in 1791, was presented to him, accom-
panied by the most flattering testimonies. Capt. Hood en-
joyed an interval of relaxation until 1793, when being re-
appointed to his old ship, the Juno, and ordered up the
Mediterranean, he was very actively employed, and had a
very narrow escape, in consequence of entering Toulon har-
bour after its evacuation by his noble relative. Never,
perhaps, was greater presence of mind exhibited by a com-
mander and his crew than in this imminent peril.
Early in the following year, capt. Hood was employed
in the reduction of the island of CuraQoa, during which he
superintended the exertions of the British seamen on shore,
and rendered the greatest service in the attack on Bastia,
and the capture of Caivi : on which latter occasion he served
in l'Aigle frigate. Capt. Hood was next employed, in the
same vessel, in the command of a small squadron in the Ar-
chipelago, for protecting the trade, and blockading a squad-
ron of the enemy's frigates of equal force at Smyrna. For
his exertions in effecting this important purposes, he re-
ceived the thanks of the Levant company, and British fac-
tory at Smyrna, conveyed in the most handsome manner.
In 1796, capt. Hood was appointed to the Zealous, of 74
guns, in which, during that year, he was actively employed
under sir John Jervis (now earl of St. Vincent, K.B., and
K.T.S.), off Toulon; and by his spirited and judicious con-
duct in effecting the return of the British troops and sea-
men from their disastrous attack, he had the satisfaction to
endear himself to that gallant officer, and to his country. In
1793, capt. Hood was employed in blockading the port of
Rochefort ; and afterwards despatched to reinforce the
squadron of earl Nelson, previous to the battle of the Nile,
in which capt. Hood bore a most prominent part, he behi£
the

the first to push on against the enemy, and capturing le
Guerrier in 12 minutes from the commencement of the fire
of the Zealous, without the loss of a man, or the slightest
injury. He next engaged alone the four French ships
which escaped, until called off by signal, sustaining loss in
the unequal conflict of only one man killed, and seven
wounded. Capt. Hood was subsequently honoured with
the thanks of both houses of parliament, and was presented
with a sword by the city of London.
After the victory off Abonkir, admiral Nelson proceed-
ed to Naples, and left captain Hood in the command of a
squadron on the coast of Egypt: with this force he kept
the port of Alexandria closely blockaded. He also con-
tributed, in a material degree, to serve the interests of Eng-
land by his amicable communications with all the pachas and
governors under the grand seignior, and particularly with
Jozza, the celebrated pacha of Acre. While on this sta-
tion, he took and destroyed more than 30 sail of the ene-
my's transports ; and was honoured by the grand seignior
with a very valuable snuff-box.
In 1799, captain Hood joined lord Nelson at Palermo,
and was employed in reducing the Sicilians to obedience
and expelling the French out of the kingdom of Naples.
At Salerno with only 40 marines belonging to the Zealous,
captain Hood kept in check a force of 3,000 men, who
were attacking that place : twice also he drove the French
out of Salerno by the fire from the Zealous. Captain Hood
was afterwards employed on shore at Naples, in taking
charge of the castle of Nuovo, and kept the city perfectly
quiet during the sieges of St. Elmo and of Capua. His
Sicilian majesty acknowledged these services by present-
ing him with a valuable box, and at the same time confer-
ring on him the rank of commander of the order of St. Fer-
dinand and of Merit.
In 1800, he was appointed to the Courageux, of 74 guns ;
in which he was, for some time, actively employed in the
Channel fleet. The Courageux afterwards formed part of
a detached squadron under sir John-Boiiase Warren, K.B.,
at Ferrol and Vigo, until Jan. 1801, at which period cap-
tain Hood removed into the Venerable, another 74 gun ship.
After some intermediate services, he was in the action
of the 6th July at Algesiras under sir James Saumarez.
Tiie failure of success in this battle arose entirely from the
winds failing : the Venerable had 8 men killed and 25 wound-
ed on this occasion. After this action, Linois, the French
commander
1104 HOOD.
commander, was reinforced with 5 Spanish sail of the line.
Notwithstanding the crippled state of the English ships, sir
James Saumarez determined to follow up the enemy: be
did so, and a glorious victory, in which captain Hood bore
a distinguished part, was the consequence. The Venerable
lost all her masts, and had 30 men killed and 100 wounded.
Captain Hood had afterwards the satisfaction of receiving
the particular thanks of the lords of the admiralty, in ad-
dition to the unanimous thanks of both houses of parlia-
ment, for his great and extraordinary exertions.
In 1h02 he was appointed a joint commissioner of the
Isle of Trinidad, and on the death of rear-admiral Totty,
was appointed commander-in-chief on the Barbadoes and
Leeward Island station. On the recommencement of hos-
tilities, in conjunction with general Grenfleld, he captured
the islands of St. Lucia and Tobago, and totally destroyed
the enemy's trade in those seas. He next, in conjunction
with the same general, captured Demerara, Isequibo, and
Berbice, and then reduced Surinam. He also took and de-
stroyed an infinite number of the enemy's privateers and
ships of war on the Leeward island station; and protected
trade in all quarters, to the entire satisfaction of all par-
ties. For these numerous and signal services he was ap-
pointed a knight of the military order of the Bath.
In 1805, sir Samuel Hood returned to England, having
previously received the most gratifying addresses from the
respective legislative assemblies, and accompanied by ele-
gant services of plate, as presents from the Leeward islands
and Barbadoes. After his return, sir Samuel was appoint-
ed a colonel of marines ; and early in 1806 he received an
appointment to the Centaur, under the orders of the earl
of St. Vincent, who gave him the command of 7 sail of the
line, and other vessels, to watch the enemy at Rochefort.
After some months' perseverance in this service, he fell in
with a squadron of the enemy, consisting of five large fri-
gates and two corvettes, full of troops : in the action which
ensued, sir Samuel was severely wounded, and was after-
wards under the necessity of having his right arm ampu-
tated : he succeeded however in capturing four of the fri-
gates, notwithstanding only three of his ships, the Centaur,
Monarch, and Mars, were able to come up with the enemy.
For his gallant conduct, and in consideration of the severe
injury he had received, his majesty was pleased to order
sir Samuel Hood a pension of 500/. per annum. Soon af-
ter this period sir Samuel Hood's professional services ha-

Sir MICHAEL SEYMOUR, Bart, born 8 Nov. 1768;
married Jane, 3d daughter of Captain James Hawker, R.N.,
and has issue, 1. Jane-Ward, b. 26 Oct. 1798 : 2. John-Ho-
bart, b. 4 March 1800; 3. James, b. 26 July 1801; 4. Mi-

chard, 6.2 March 1806; 7. Frances-Anne, b. 14 Aug. 1807;
and 8. Dorothea, b. 4 Sept. 1809.
Sir Michael entered R.N., aud commenced his profes-
sional career in Nov. 1780, under the auspices of the
Hon. Captain James Lutterell, brother of Henry, Earl of
Carhampton : in Nov. 1790, he received his promotion as
Lieutenant in the Magnificent ; and in Earl Howe's memo-
rable action, 1 June 1794, he wasjunior Lieutenant on board
the Marlborough, commanded by the Hon. Admiral George
Berkeley, (now sir Geo. Berkely, G.C.B.) : in this action he
was so severely wounded, that he suffered the loss of his left
arm; and his sufferings were marked with peculiar severity.
In
1108 SEYMOUR.
In 180(3,on Lord Barbara's promotion to the office of First
Lord of the Admiralty, he was appointed to the command
of the Amethyst Frigate ; this Frigate had been cruizing oft
U Orient 14 weeks, when on the night of 10 Nov. 1808, the
French Frigate, La Thetis, was discovered, which after a
gallant resistance, was captured : which action, for gallant-
ry, skill, and courage, has never been exceeded ; and of
which his Majesty was pleased to signify his approbation by
presenting Captain Seymour with a Gold Medal; the Commit-
tee of the Patriotic Fund at LIoyd's-Coft'ee-House voted him
One Hundred Guineas ; the Mayor, Alderman, Sheriffs, &c.
of Limerick, voted him the freedom of that City in a Sil-
ver Box, lt for his very great gallantry and ability in the
capture of La Thetis." The next instance of naval gal-
lantry exhibited by Captain Seymour was the capture
of Le Niemen French Frigate of 44 guns, on the 16th
of April, 1809; the Niemen was laden with provisions and
naval stores for the Isle of France, and had just sailed
from Verdun Roads, when, in the forenoon of the 5th of
April, she was discovered by the Amethyst, and closely
pursued, but was lost sight of in the course of the evening ;
and at half past nine she crossed a vessel ; but her extra-
ordinary sailing prevented any encounter from taking place :
from one to three in the morning of the 6th, the vessels ha-
ving neared, the action was severe ; after which the Ene-
my's main and mizen masts fell, and his fire was just silen-
ced when the Arethusa appeared, and, on her firing, the
Niemen immediately made a signal of having surrendered :
the capture proved to be the same Frigate as had been ob-

in Parliament : in 1805 he was elected to the Mayoralty :

other Subject of the Realm, however elevated his rank.

sion-House, during this period, were particularly distin-
guished : his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, and all
his royal brothers, and an unprecedented assemblage of
high rank, character, and talent, of both sexes, graced the
city with their presence at the Easter-festival : he is also
said to have been the first Lord Mayor who procured a
Library for the Chief Magistrate, by a vote of the Corpo-

The family of Congreve is of Saxon origin ; the ancestor
of it settled co. Stafford, when Mercia was formed the 6th
kingdom of the heptarchy, anno Domini 584.
In the roil of Winton, or Doomsday-book, which was
made in the 18th year of king William I.'s reign, A.D.
1078, the family estate at Congreve, near Stretton, co. Staf-
ford, is particularly described; which estate still remains in
the possession of the family.
When king Richard I. (Cccur de Lion) went on the cru-
sade to the Holy Land, 1190, Gal/rid Congreve, being a
military man, attended the king on that occasion; and on
his journey from Ostend to Marseilles, he m. JDaw-

HUNTER, of the City of London.
15 Dec. 1812.
Sir CLAUDIUS-STEPHEN HUNTER, Bart., elected,
1804, Alderman of London ; born 24 Feb. 1774 ; married
Penelope-Maria, only da. of John Free, a distinguished Mer-
chant of London, and has issue, 1. John, b. 26 May 1798;
2. Maria, b. 20 Aug. 1800 ; 3. Thomas-Claude, b. 10 April
1804; and 4. Samuel, b. 8 Aug. 1806.
Sir Claudius was elected lord mayor of London, and the
celebration of his inauguration as chief magistrate, on Sa-
turday 9 Nov. 1811, was observed with much more than
common brilliancy, in consequence of his royal highness

the Duke of York honouring his lordship with his compa-
ny ; an honour that was never before conferred by any of
the sons of his present majesty, except in the mayoralty of
sir Brooke Watson, although the royal family have very
frequently visited the several lord mayors at the Easter and
other festivals at the Mansion-House.
The paternal ancestors of the present bait, were citizens
and merchants of London, of considerable eminence, in the
reign of Charles I., as appears from the family records in
the college of heralds, and more particularly from the deed
of settlement of estates after the fire of London ; by which
certain property in the city of London was assigned to sir
Claudius's ancestors, and is now vested in Henry Hunter, of
Beech-Hill, esq., his elder and only brother, lineally de-
scended from Charles Hunter, esq., on whom the property
was settled by that deed. John Hunter, son of Charles, ha-
ving made a considerable addition to the fortune he inhe-
rited from his father, purchased the family estate of Beech-
Hill, above mentioned, where himself and his descendants
chiefly resided; and from that period of his retirement we
do not find any of the family engaged in mercantile specu-
lations.
Henry Hunter, of Beech-Hill, co. Berks, esq., a gentle-
man of the most polished education, and the most engaging
manners, having received the rudiments of his learning at
Eton school, which were matured by study in the univer-
sity of Cambridge, as fellow-commoner of Trinity College^
and finally perfected by the customary tour over the con-
tinent of Europe. He was called to the bar, and shortly
after m. Mary, 3d da. of William Sloane, esq., great ne-

May 1822) had issue, l.'Henry- Hunter of Beech-Hill ; and
%, sir Claudius, who, being intended for the profession of
the law, was entered a student of the Inner-Temple ; but
the prospects of success at the bar being but slight and
uncertain, he qualified himself for the practical branch of
the profession, by five years' service and tuition under
Messrs. Beardsworth, Bur!ey,and Moore, solicitors of great
eminence in Lincoln's-Inn ; and after one year's farther
education, he commenced solicitor in Lincoln's Inn. While
in the full enjoyment of the fair profits resulting from his
professional engagements, he was, in Sept. 1804, solicited
by many respectable citizens to become a magistrate of Lon-
don, and was, in consequence, unanimously chosen alder-

BLANE,
1140 BLANE.
BLANK, of Blanefield, co. Ayr; and Culverlands,
co. Berks.
26 Dec. 1812.
Sir GILBERT BLANE, Bart., created, as above, M.D.,
one of the Physicians in Ordinary to his Royal Highness
the Prince Regent, F.R.S., Member of the Royal College
of Physicians in London, Fellow of the Royal Societies of
London and Edinburgh, a Proprietor of the Royal Insti-
tution, and a Member of the Imperial Academy of Sciences
of St. Petersburg.
Sir Gilbert having employed ten years in the study of all
the various branches of literature and science, as well as of
medicine, taught at the University of Edinburgh, finished
his professional education in London : he was particularly
patronized by Principal Robertson, the celebrated His-
torian, and at his recommendation, and that of Dr. W.
Hunter, he lived for some time with the Earl of Holder-
nesse, as Physician and Companion to that accomplished
Nobleman, who had, in the course of his life, filled some of
the most important posts in the State, the last of which was
that of Governor to the Prince of Wales. Soon after the
death of the Earl of Holdernesse, Sir Gilbert embarked in
the Fleet which left England at the close of 1779, under the
command of Sir George Rodney, K.B., who appointed him
Physician to his Fleet immediately after his first Victory,
on his arrival at Gibraltar: he proceeded in this character
to the West Indies with that great Commander, and con-
ducted the medical business of the Fleet there and in North
America, till the Peace of 1783. In the course of that
splendid and important service, he was present in six gene-
ral engagements: the Fleet to which he was Physician re-
ceived three times the unanimous thanks of both Houses of
Parliament: and Sir George Rodney ascribed part of his
success to those medical regulations to which the healthy
state
BLANE. 1141
state of the Fleet was owing. On Sir Gilbert's return to
England, at the Peace of 1783, all the Flag-Officers and
Captains of the Fleet in which he had served, recommended
him to his Majesty, who was graciously pleased to grant
him a pension, as a testimony of his royal approbation. In
1795 he was appointed oue of the Commissioners of Sick
and wounded Seamen ; and for the regulations which on his
suggestions were adopted in this department, and for his
writings, whereby the state of health of the Royal Navy was
improved in an eminent degree, the Lords of the Admiralty
testified their high sense of his merits to his Majesty's
Privy Council (see Records of these Offices, 1805); upon
which he received an additional reward for his services.
Sir Gilbert has also been employed from time to time by
the Government as a Member of the Committee for framing
Quarantine Regulations, in visiting the public Prisons of
the Metropolis, and Depositaries for securing and trans-
porting Convicts, with a view to the adoption of measures
for the better preservation of their health, and checking
contagion: in drawing up directions for the transportation
of the Army from Egypt, so as to avoid the importation of
pestilence from that country ; in forming a scheme for the
better conducting the medical service in India ; and lastly,
he was sent by the Cabinet Council to the Island of Wal-
cheren in the autumn of 1809, on an important medical mis-
sion ; upon the execution of which special service he re-
ceived the public approbation of the Commander-in-Chief
of the Forces, as stated in the parliamentary documents re-
lating to the Expedition to the Scheldt. Sir Gilbert was
also consulted by foreign nations on the subject of medical
police ; among others, by the. Sovereigns of Russia and
Prussia, by both of whom he was presented with gold me-
dals, in token of their approbation ; and the President of
the United States of America (Mr. Adams) wrote him a
letter of thanks, with his own hand, for his answer to a re-
ference which had been made to him respecting the yellow
fever,

fever. For these his long and faithful services, and for his
professional attendance on his Royal Person and Family,
The Prince Regent, in the name and behalf of his Majesty,
was pleased to advance him to the dignity of a Baronet of
the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, as above.
Sir Gilbert, born at Blanefield, co. Ayr, 29 Aug. 1749
(O. S.); married, 11 July 1786, Elizabeth, only daughter of
Abraham Gardiner, Merchant (by Mary Newman ; who

Establishment ; he signalized himself in the war with the
Rajah of Nepaul, and was wounded at the side of General
Gellespie, who fell in storming the Fortress of Kalunga on
the 31st of Oct. 1814; d. 18 May 1821; 3. Hugh-Seymour,
Ensign in the 3d Regiment of Foot Guards; he served in
the 2d Brigade of Foot Guards at the renowned Battle of
Waterloo, fought on the 18th of June 18i5. This Brigade
was posted in the most exposed point of the conflict, and in
the estimation of the Duke of Wellington was the most dis-
tinguished on that most memorable day; for the Rev. W.
Noncrop, of Framlingham, in Suffolk, having, immediately
after the battle, intimated to the Duke that it was his wish
to settle an annuity of 10Z. for life on the soldier who had
given the greatest proof of courage and good conduct, his
Grace adjudged it by referring to the above-mentioned
Brigade, as the one which had performed the most signal
service on that day, and desiring the Officers of it to select
a man. This, they accordingly did, and pitched upon Ser-
geant Graham, one of their Non-Commissioned Officers.

of places bearing the name in various parts of the kingdom,
as Strathblane, Dumblane, Kilblane, Auchinblane, Pkulane,
&c. Sec, it would appear to have been numerous and re-
spectable at an early period, more particularly about the
time of St. Blaue, one of the most celebrated in the Scots'
kalendar, who flourished in the 10th century, and founded
the ecclesiastical establishment of Dumblane, which be-
came one of the thirteen bishopricks of Scotland.

sons, one was bred to the law, and the others embarked in
mercantile pursuits, some of them having gone to Ireland,
the West Indies, &c. Thomas and John resided at Gir-
van, where they carried on a successful trade, particularly
with Ireland, and acquired a considerable property in land
and houses; from one of the other sons descended gen.
Patrick Blane, of Wigg, co. Wigtoun (see Records of Gen.
Retours, 1665). Thomas Blane, of Girvan, esq., m. Helen
Ross, of Chappeldonan, and was great-grandfather of the
present bart : and John Blane, of the same place, m. Mar-
garet, da. of Montgomerie, of Beoch, esq. (son of
Montgomerie, of Bridgend, esq., a cadet of the noble
family of Eglinton) by whom he had a son, William, who,
by the da. of Stewart, of Fintilloch, descended from the
noble family of Galloway, he had 2 sons, Archibald and
Robert, and 2 das. Margaret and Elizabeth. Archibald,
the eldest son, served as an officer in the army in Ame-
rica during the seven years' war, with distinguished repu-
tation (see Narrative of an expedition against the Ohio
Indians, Philadelphia, 1766); having m. miss Smith, of
Reading, co. Berks, d. without issue; Robert Blane, the
younger brother, very early in life entered the service of
the East India company, in which he highly distinguished
himself, and having attained the rank of lieut.-col., he re-
turned to England, and d. anm. in 1798. He was present
at the battle of Buxer, under sir Hector Munro, in 1764,
and at the siege and battle of Cuddalore in 178^, where he

troops, which he had formed and disciplined, and which he

never before attempted. The utmost exeriions were called
for at that crisis, to prevent the British power from being
overwhelmed by Hydcr Ali and the French. The follow-
ing extract from the Annual Register of 1783, will suffi-
ciently show in what estimation the officers and men of this
detachment were held : — " Nothing could exceed the admi-
rable behaviour of the troops, both European and Sepoys,
in this action ; it was equally singular and extraordinary
that the 26lh battalion of Bengal Sepoys, and another be-
longing to Madras, fought some of the oldest and best
troops of France with the bayonet, and foiled them at that
European weapon, which is considered as the most trying
test of the firmness and excellence of soldiers." The writer
of this was informed, by Governor Hastings, after his re-
turn from India, that lieut.-col. Blane was one of the field
officers who had chiefly distinguished himself in leading the
Asiatic troops on that day. Col. Toone, now a director of
the East India company, who had formerly been a field-
officer in India, where he knew him professionally, said,
" that he never knew an officer of a more truly military
spirit :" for this and other services, he was presented by
the government of India with a valuable sword, with an
inscription reciting the services for which this mark of dis-
tinction was conferred ; since which he has taken for his
crest, the sword of the figure of justice: he was also pre-
sented with the freedom of the city of Edinburgh in com-
pliment to his distinguished military character. Col. Blane
returned to England, and d. unm, 1798. Margaret and
Elizabeth were both unm; the former d. 1810, and the lat-
ter is the only survivor of this branch of the Blane family.
Thomas Blane, before mentioned, had issue,by Helen Ross,
2 sons, Thomas and Andrew. The former was infeft in the
lands of Brunston-Poundland, and others, in the co. Ayr,
and d. without issue ; and Andreiv intermarried with Jane,
da. of Alexander Mac-kie, of Palgowan, esq. in the stew-
artry of Galloway, a family of great respectability, whose
grandson, John-Ross Mac-kie, of Palgowan, esq., was
representative in several parliaments for the stewartry of
Galloway : her grandmother was Catherine Forrester, of
the family of Corstorphin, and was created baroness For-
rester, of Corstorphin, 1633, a woman of uncommon know-
ledge and sagacity. This lady was m. twice; 1st, to the
above-named Alexander Mac-kie, by whom he had Alex-
ander, whom, a daughter of sir James Dunbar, of Moch-
rum (vide Douglas's Peerage, p. 117); and of this marriage

the Curwens (formerly Culwens) of Workington, Camerton,
&c. ; Irebys, of Ireby, co. Cumberland ; Lea, of Lea; and
Westby, of Westby, co. Lancaster: and divers others, in
addition to that of Radcliffe; but as the limits of this work
will not suffer us to enter minutely into the detail of a fa-
mily of this antiquity, extent, and national importance, we
shall content ourselves with just pointing out the leading
features thereof, and beg leave to refer our readers for fur-
ther particulars to the various archives in the college of
arms, and other great repositories of genealogical and bio-
graphical matter ; the several ancient chronicles and histo-
ries of England ; some of the local histories, particularly
that of Whalley Abbey, and divers publications of the
Peerage ; as some members of this noble family have had
the honour of holding a place in that elevated rank for a
series of nearly 400 years until the present time, with some
very trifling exceptions.
Hennj de Radeclive, or, as some have it, Nicholas de Rad-
clyfFe, assumed his surname from his residence and manor
of Radcliffe, which he held by military service of his bro-
ther, Win. de Lancaster, baron of Kendale, which Henry
occurs as a witness to the foundation-charter of the abbey
of Burscougb, co. Lancaster, temp. Henry II. His son,
Wm. de Radcliffe, was sheriff of that county, temp, about
6 Richd. L, and was one of the knights who formed the
grand feodary-inquest in that county in the 13th year of
king John ; he m. Cecilia deMontebegon, lady of Kirkland,
by whom he acquired lands in Tottington : from him de-
scended Richd. de Radclyffe, called Old Richard, to distin-
guish him from his son and grandson, both of that Christian
name, living at the same time. He attended the victorious
monarch, Edwd. I., in his wars of Scotland, who granted
him his royal charter, bearing date at Striveling, 23 July,
in the 31st year of his reign, free warren in all his demesne
lands of Radcliffe and Querendon : he had issue several
sons and das. : Robert, the eldest son was ancestor of the
Radclyffes, of Smithills and Chaddeaton, both knightly fa-
milies in the said county ; and Radcliffe, co. Devon. His
3d son, sir John Radclyffe, of Ordshall,co. Lancaster, knt.,
served Edwd. III. in his wars in France, particularly at
Caen, Cressy, and Calais, and was progenitor of that knight-
ly and distinguished military branch of the family which

into France with 3 men at arms and 9 archers: and was
with that prince in his great victories of Aginconrt and
Calais; and was ancestor of the knightly branches of Rad-
clyffes, of Wymersley, which terminated in Anne, only sister
and heir of William Radclyffe, esq., m. sir Gilbert Gerrard,
knt., attorney-gen. and master of the rolls in the reign of

of Giggleswick; both co. York; from which last branched
those of Chapel], co. Essex: from a 3d son of the said Tho-
mas Radclyffe, of Wymersley, also sprang a very respect-
able branch seated at Manchester, which became extinct
in the reign of Charles II. The c2d son of the said Thomas

and in compliance with a clause contained in the last will
and testament of the said uncle, took the surname and arms
of Radcliffe only, by virtue of the king's royal sign manual
bearing date 19 Dec. in the same year. He has, for seve-
ral years past, been a most loyal and active magistrate,
being one of his majesty's justices of the peace for the
counties of Lancaster and Chester, the county of Derby,
and the West Riding of Yorkshire, and deputy-lieut. for the
said West Riding: in which character of magistrate he so
highly distinguished himself by his determined resolution
to discharge the arduous duties of his situation, in defiance
of all the dangers that threatened him (which indeed were
truly alarming), as to induce such a general interest in his
favour, as to call for some eminent mark of the royal favour
to be conferred on him; which probably will be best shown
by the correspondence which took place between the truly-
patriotic and accomplished noble lord-lieut. of the West
Riding and his majesty's ministers on this occasion, and
became the foundation upon which the structure of this
baronetcy was erected.
Milton, 15 Dec. 1812.
DEAR SIR,
Nothing can be so honourable to an individual as when
the public voice calls for some mark of public consideration
being bestowed upon him: I have reason for thinking that
the disturbed parts of the clothing district feel so strongly
impressed with a sense of your indefatigable and unremitted
exertions as a magistrate, the risks and dangers you have,
and are now braving, with undaunted fortitude, in the ser-
vice of the country, for the discovery of the disturbers of
its tranquillity, that it is the earnest wish of the most re-
spectable gentlemen that an honourable mark of the royal
approbation should be conferred upon you ; such an one as
is suitable to the independent fortune you possess, and the
high consideration you enjoy among your neighbours. Al-
low me to ask, would a baronetage be acceptable? And I
must go farther, and still put another question : Would it
be
RADCLIFFE. 116$
T>e acceptable to you to receive it on the recommendation,
and at the solicitation, of his majesty's lieut., stating the
meritorious services (so ample a field for description) as the
ground on which he makes his request? I feel the ne-
cessity of being explicit, because circumstanced as I am
with the administration, I can ask, as an individual, no
Favour; nor can I assume that you would receive one at my
hands but as an officer of the crown. I feel myself justly
entitled to recommend, for public reward, those who, in the
department committed to my superintendance and care,
render indisputable and essential service on emergencies of
the most trying and alarming nature. I have but one word
to add, which is to assure you, that it will be most gratify-
ing to me to receive your permission to proceed in this
business : being, with sincere esteem,
Very truly yours,
Joseph Radcliffe, esq. Wentworth Fitzwilliam.
sir, Whitehall, 18 Sept. 1813.
I have the honour of communicating to you the gracious
intention of his royal highness the prince regent forth-
with to confer upon you the dignity of a baronet of the
united kingdom. It is with great satisfaction that I con-
vey to you such a testimony of the opinion entertained by
his royal highness of that loyal, zealous, and intrepid
conduct which you have invariably displayed at a period
when the West Riding of the county of York presented a
disgraceful scene of outrage and plunder ; and by which,
in the discharge of your duty as a magistrate, you con-
tributed most materially to re-establish, in that quarter,
tranquillity and obedience to the laws, and to restore secu-
rity to the lives and property of his majesty's subjects.
I have the honour to be, sir,
Your most obedient and faithful servant,
Joseph Radcliffe, esq. Sidmouth.
Wentworth, 22 Sept. 1813.
DEAR SIR,
This morning's post brought a letter from lord Sidmouth
to announce the pleasing communication of the regent's
intention to confer on you the dignity of a baronetage,
li in consideration of your exemplary, useful exertions as
a magistrate in the West Riding at a period of the utmost
difficulty, alarm, and danger." Though lord Sidmouth
vol, ii. n n says
117(3 KADCL1FFE.
says in his letter that he shall make the communication to
you, I cannot retrain from troubling you with these few
lines, to express how truly I consider the dignity to have
been earned by the service performed ; how much I think
it for the public interest necessary that exertions of the
nature should not pass unnoticed by government; but that,
on the other hand, they ought to be held up, as in this
instance they now are, as examples for similar exertions
in similar emergencies ; and, lastly, to add, that a measure
more acceptable to the West Riding could not have been
adopted ihan this acknowledgment (so it will be consi-
dered) on the part of government of the eminent service
rendered by your exemplary firmness and exertions.
I am, dear sir,
Most truly yours,
Wentworth Fitzwilliam.

English hospitality, and lived in the respect, esteem, and
friendship of the neighbouring nobility and gentry, and the
love of his numerous tenantry ; in him were blended all
the virtues that adorn the character of man in public and
private life: no less distinguished by the most amiable
affections of the heart, than a stern hostility to the slightest
deviation from truth and plain dealing; he was equally
zealous and intrepid in the cause of loyalty and social
order, having, at the imminent hazard of his life, and the
destruction of his property, rendered the most essential
service to the state, by his prompt exertions as a ma-
gistrate during a period of local insubordination, danger,
and alarm, in the year 1312. The sovereign acknowledged
his merit by creating him a baronet, wilh the singular fa-
vour of a gratuitous patent. Sir Joseph d. 19 Feb. 183 9,

HAMILTON, of Woodfjrook, co. Tyrone.
6 May 1813.
Sir JOHN HAMILTON, Bart., Lieutenant-General of
his Majesty's Forces, Colonel of the 2d Ceylon Regiment,
Governor of Duncannon Fort, Knight Grand Cross of the
Portuguese Military Order of the Tower and Sword, was
created a Baronet of the United Kingdom, as above; mar-
ried Emily-Sophia, daughter of George-Paul Monke, Esq.,
by the Lady Araminta Beresford, daughter of Marcus, Earl
of Tyrone, and sister of George, Marquess ofWaterford,
and has issue one son, James-John Hamilton.
Sir John Hamilton is a lineal descendant of the Abercom
branch of the truly ancient and noble family of Hamilton,
which has in various branches been ennobled in the peerage
of the three kingdoms of England, Scotland, and Ireland.
James, earl of Arran in Scotland, and duke of Chatel-
herault, in France, lawful grandson to Mary, the sister of
king James III., of Scotland, had three sons, whereof the
eldest died without issue; from John, the 2d, the present
duke of Hamilton and Brandon is descended; and Claud,
lord Paisley, the 3d son, was the lineal ancestor of the pre-
sent marquess of Abercoru, and of sir John Hamilton. His
second son, Claud, having settled in Ireland about 1618, in.
the da. and heir of the Hamiltonsof Manor- Elieston, in the
co. of Tyrone, and left issue, sir Wm. Hamilton, of Manor-
Elieston, who, by the lady Beatrix Campbell, his 2d wife,
was father of Claud Hamilton, of Montaloney, in the said
county of Tyrone, who was the grandfather of James Hamil-
ton, of Woodbrook and Strabane, esq., who m. Elinor, the
sister of Andrew-Thomas Stewart, earl of Castlestewart, in
Ireland, and by her had issue the present baronet, Sir John
vol. ii. p p Hamilton,
1194 HAMILTON.
Hamilton, who early in life embraced the profession of arms,
and signalized himself in the East and West Indies, on
many important occasions, particularly at the escalade
of the fortress of Gualiar, the storming of the strong forts
of Lahar and Bangalore, and in the several actions in the
Mysore country in 1791 and 1792. In 1809 he was removed
from the British to the Portuguese staff, and appointed in-
spector-general of discipline. In the recent arduous con-
test in Spain and Portugal, the conduct of sir John Hamil-
ton has been conspicuous, and his defence of the town and
castle of Alba de Tonnes, on the 10th and 11th November,
1812 (when with 1500 men he succeeded in repulsing more
than 15,000 of the enemy under marshal Soult, aided by 20
pieces of artillery), will ever be remembered to his honour.
In testimony of his approbation of his eminent services, the
prince regent of Portugal conferred upon the general the
insignia of a knight commander of the order of the tower
and sword, and subsequently, the king of Portugal, that of
the grand cross of that order : nor have the merits of this
officer been allowed to pass unrewarded by his own sove-
reign,— he has been not only raised to the dignity of a ba-
ronet, but has also received from the prince regent his ma-
jesty's royal permission, dated 20th April 1815, that he and
his descendants may bear an augmentation to his arms, and
an additional crest, allusive to his defence of Alba de
Tonnes.

nourable military order of the Bath in 1817. He served in
Gibraltar dining the siege ; in India, where he filled various
important situations, for a period of fifteen years ; in Ire-

the 4th division of the army; and in the isle of France,
nearly four years. And, in consideration of his distinguish-
ed services in various parts of the world, he was created a
baronet, as above.
Sir Colin Campbell, of Glenorchy, m. , Graham of
Inchbruky's da., whose mother was da. to Alexander Alister,
bishop of Inverary, son to the earl of Marr, by whom sir
Colin had Archibald-Gillespie-Dow, 0. in Aucharn. The
mother dying of the birth, the child was sent privately to
the isle of Mull, with a nurse of the name of Macleran, and
a servant lad of the M'Intoshes. After two years in Mull,
he was brought to Auchalader, and fostered with the M'In-
toshes till he was seven years old, and from thence he wras
sent to some obscure place in the low country, where he con-
tinued till he was 20 years of age. When sir Colin married
Inchbruky's da., he was only the youngest brother of three.
By the death of his elder brothers, who died before his lady,
there stood nothing in the way that could probably obstruct
his ambition of getting a match suitable to his mind and for-
tune, but to bury his new-born son in oblivion, which was
done in the above manner; and accordingly sir Colin suc-
ceeded in his design, by marrying Catherine Ruthven, da.
to the earl of Gowrey, the greatest family then in Scotland,
as appears by the genealogical records of the family of
Argyll.

This
1202 SIMEON.
This family is of French extraction, and came over with
William the Conqueror; it had large possessions co. Ox-
ford, and was divided into two hranches, one of whom was
Catholic, the other Protestant. The Catholic branch ter-
minated by the death of sir Edward Simeon, bart., in 1765,
without issue male, which baronetage had been granted, 12
Car. II., to an ancestor, in consideration of military aid to
the crown, during the civil wars ; and the property by a
niece who m. into the Weld family, of Lullworth-Castle, co.
Dorset, thus passed into that family. The Protestant branch,
which were seated at Pipton, in the same co., for many
centuries, as appears by family inscriptions, there ended
in the direct line in an only da., who in. Mr. Hampden.

of that family previous to 1635.

1812, Reginald Macdonald, of Staffa, Esq., by whom she
has male issue, and on whom the above dignity is in remain-

This family is of great antiquity in co. Lanerk, and is at the
head of one of the most extensive branches of the house
of Bunlde ; being lineally descended from sir Robert Stew-
art, of Daldowie, 6th son of sir John Stewart, of Bon-
tell or Bonkhill, son to Alexander, 6th lord high steward

1206 STEUART.
of Scotland, great grandfather of king Robert II., the first
prince of the Stewart line. About 1290, sir John bestowed
the estate of Daldowie, on the river Clyde, part of his exten-
sive possessions, co. Lanerk, and co. Renfrew, in patrimo-
ny, on his son, sir Robert, and was himself killed at the
fatal battle of Falkirk, anno 1298, against Edward I., with
many other of the Scotch nobility: sir Robert probably
fought at the glorious field of Bannockburn, with the lord
high steward, and the rest of his family, under king Ro-
bert Bruce; and we find, that in the following year he, with
three of his brothers, sir Alan, sir Walter, and sir Hugh,
accompanied Edward Bruce in the expedition to Ireland,
1315 ; and he was also present at the battle of Dundalk,
1318, where that adventurous prince at length terminated
his career ; from whom descended James 11th baron of Al-
lanton, and 14th in descent from the lord high steward of
Scotland, h. 1715, in. 1754, his cousin Margaret da. of Hen-
ry«Steuart Barclay, of Collernie, co. Fife, esq., younger
brother to sir James Steuart, of Goodtrees, bart., M.P. for
Mid-Lothian, in the 1st parliament after the Union, and
afterwards solicitor-gen. in the reign of George II., and had
issue, 1. James, b. 1755, d. 1756 ; 2. sir Henry, the present
bart. ; 3. William, d. 1775 ; and 4. Antonio, d. 1775 ; James,
eldest son, deceasing, was succeeded by his eldest sur-
viving son,
I. Sir HENRY, the 15th in descent from the lord steward
of Scotland.
From this stock have sprung, at different periods, various
families of the name of Steuart: among these are the Steu-
arts of Kirkfleld and Coltness, those of Goodtrees, Allan-
bank, and Mitcham; as also the Steuarts of Hartwood,
Westbarns, Carfin, Alderston, and others. It is deserving
of notice, that there are at this time four baronetages in
the family, including the present grant to the elder branch
of it; viz. 1. of Alunbank, co. Berwick, which branch is de-
scended from James VI., baron of Allanton, and the 8th of
Daldowie, who d. 1607, and is now represented by sir John-
James Steuart, bart., 2dly, that of Coltness, co. Lanerk,
which branch is also descended from the said James, of
Allanton and Dandowie, and is represented by gen. sir
James-Denham-Steuart, bart., col. of the second regiment
of dragoons, or Scots greys; 3dly, that of Goodtrees, co.
Edinburgh, which branch is also descended and represented
as above ; 4thly, that of Allanton, as conferred on the pre-
sent bart. The three baronetages first mentioned, are by
virtue

virtue of ancient Scottish patents (vide the Baronetage of
Scotland); and it is a remarkable circumstance that they
were bestowed upon the family by three sovereigns, of
characters considerably different; viz. King James II.;
William; and Queen Anne; and all in consideration of
their public services.

The present baronet is brother and heir of the late rev.
Edivard-Tymewell Brydgcs, of Wootton- Court, in Kent, of
whose claim to the ancient Barony of Chandos, Cruise, in his
" Treatise on Dignities," has given the following summary
account: " 1790, the rev. Edward-Tymewell Brydges
claimed the Barony of Chandos, stating, that her ma-
jesty
BRYDGES. 1213
jesty queen Mary, by letters patent, in the first year of her
reign, granted to sir John Brydges, knt., the title, or dig-
nity, of Baron Chandos, of Sudcley, to hold to him and the
heirs male of his body for ever. That the said John, first
lord of Chandos, had issue, 3 sons, Edmund, his eldest son ;
Charles, his second son ; and Anthony, his third son ;
and likewise other younger sons. That the title of haron
Chandos descended to the eldest son, and continued in his
issue male until the death of William, seventh lord Chandos
without issue male, when the line of Edmund, eldest son of
John, first lord Chandos, failed. That the title then de-
scended to sir James Brydges, bait., eighth lord Chaudos,
who was the great grandson, and heir male of the body of
Charles, the second son of the first lord Chandos ; and conti-
nued in his issue male until the death of James, duke of
Chandos, in 1789, without issue male ; when there was
a total failure of heirs male of the body of Charles, the
second son of the first lord Chandos ; and upon such
failure, the claimant submitted that he was entitled to
inherit the same honour and dignity, as heir male of the
body of Anthony, the third son of the first lord Chandos.
The attorney-general reported, that he conceived the claim-
ant had proved himself to be heir male of the body of
John, first lord Chandos, and, as such, entitled to the ho-
nour and dignity of baron Chandos, of Sudeley, by evidence
which, although not without some difficulty, would be pro-
bably deemed sufficient to prove his title to any other spe-
cies of inheritance, the foundation of which was laid so far
back as 1554. 16 June 1803, the petition and report having
been referred to the house of peers, a majority of the com-
mittee not thinking the evidence sufficient, "it was re-
solved, that the petitioner had not made out his claim to
the title and dignity of baron Chandos." The vote by which
the decision on the claim was then suspended was carried,
on a division, by fifteen to seven against the claimant.
The family of Brydges is descended from sir .Simon de
Brugge, lord of Brugge-upon-Wye, co. Hereford, in the
time of Henry III. His grandson, John, represented the
co. Hereford, 16 Edward II., and was father of sir Bald-
"win, whose son, Thomas Brugge, m. Alice, da. and co-heir
of sir Thos. Berkeley, of Coberley, in Gloucestershire, by
Joan, sister and co-heir of sir John Chandos ; which Alice
d. 2d Henry V. His grandson, sir Giles Brydges, of Co-
berley, d. 1511, leaving 2 sons, sir John, first peer, and
Thomas, of Keinsham Abbey, co. Somerset, whose last
male descendant, George Brydges, of Keinsham, and of
Avington,
1214 BRYDGES.
Avington, in Hampshire, d. 1751, M.P. for Winchester,
leaving his large estates to his remote cousin, the late duke
of Chandos. From Edmund, 2d lord Chandos, K.G., de-
scended George, sixth lord Chandos, commemorated by
lord Clarendon for his loyalty to Charles I. This peer,
however, was the means of eclipsing the splendour of his
family, by leaving the castle of Suddey, and large surround-
ing estates, at the disposal of his widow, Jane Savage, who
carried them to her last husband, Mr. George Pitt, of
Stratfield-Say, ancestor to lord Rivers. His brother, Wil-
liam, 7th peer, was succeeded, 1676, by his third cousin,
sir James Brydges, of Wilton Caslle, co. Hereford, bait.,
who d. 1714. His son, James, ninth peer, was created
viscount Wilton, and earl of Caernarvon, 1714 ; and in
1719, marquess of Caernarvon, and duke of Chandos ; he d.
1744 ; his son, Henry, 2d duke, d. 1771; and his grandson,
James, 3d and last duke, d. 29 Sept. 1789, without issue
male.
John Brydges (who is stated, in the pedigree delivered to
the House of Lords, in the above claim, to have been great
grandson of Robert Brydges, who was son of Anthony, 3d
son of the first lord Chandos,) was b. at Canterbury, in
1680; entered a student at Gray's-Inn, J 699, and called
to the bar, 1704. In the same year he in. Jane, da. and

22 April 1820.
Sir WALTER SCOTT, Bart., created as above ; one of
the principal Clerks of the Session in Scotland, and Sheriff-
depute of the shire of Selkirk, was born in the College Wynd
of Edinburgh, 15 Aug. 1771, and being bred to the Scottish
Bar, passed Advocate in summer 1792. He married his pre-
sent lady, Margaret-Charlotte Carpenter, sister of the late
Charles Carpenter, Esq., commercial resident at Salem, 24
Dec. 1797. In the year 1800, he was appointed Sheriff-
depute of Selkirkshire, and in 1806, was made one of the
principal Clerks of Session. Having been distinguished in
consequence of his literary productions, his present Majesty
then Prince Regent, was pleased to confer on the said Wal-
ter Scott, the rank of Baronet, in the year 1820, being the
first title of distinction bestowed after his Royal Highness
had obtained the unlimited exercise of the royal prerogative,
and the only degree of Baronet conferred in the course of
that year. Sir Walter Scott, besides an infant child which
d. soon after birth, 15 Oct. 1798, has the following surviving
family, 1. Charlotte-Sophia, m. to John-Gibson Lockhart,
Esq., Advocate, son of the Rev. John Lockhart, D.D., of
the family of Lockhart, of Wyegateshaw : they have one
child, John Hugh ; 2. Walter, b. 28 Oct. 1801, Lieutenant
in the 15th or King's Regiment of Hussars, unrtu; 3. Anne
unm. ; 4. Charles, Student of Brazen Nose College, Oxford.
The descent of the ancient honorable, and powerful fa-
mily of the Scotts, of Harden, may be found in Douglas's
Baronage of Scotland, p. 213, and therefore is not here re-
cited. Sir William Scott, of Harden, and representative
of that family a man of great fortune and political influ-
ence
SCOTT. 1251
ence d. 1655. By his wife Agnes Murray, da. of the first
lord Elibank, he had 5 sons, to each of whom he left a
considerable landed estate besides that which descended
to the eldest; these were 1. sir William, heir of the fa-
mily, whose line is now extinct ; 2. sir Gideon, of High-
chester, whose great grandson succeeded to the family
estate of Harden, and whose descendant, Hugh Scott,
esq., now represents that ancient family; 3. Walter Scott,
of Raeburn ; 4. James, of Thirlestone ; 5. John, of Woll.
Sir Walter Scott is descended from the 3d of these sons,
viz. Walter Scott, of Raeburn, who to, Isabel Makdougal,
da. of Wm. Makdougal, of Makerstoiin, by Margaret Scott,
da. of Walter Scott, of Harden, called Auld Watt. This
Walter, of Raeburn, was a great orientalist, but unhappily
prosecuted his studies in the Hebrew language until he
studied himself into quakerism, with which sect his lady
also complied. The privy-council of Scotland, upon the pe-
tition of sir William Scott, of Harden, Raeburn's brother,
and Makdougal, of Makerstoun, his brother-in-law, adopted
the rough methods used in that time to cure heresy ; Rae-
burn and his wife were imprisoned in the jails of Edin-
burgh and Jedburgh, their children were forcibly taken
from them and appointed to be educated at Glasgow, at a
distance from their parents, and by means of a considerable
annuity, appointed to be paid out of Raeburn's estate. (See
Sharpe's life of Kirkton, prefixed to his history of the Kirk
of Scotland.) Nevertheless Walter, of Raeburn, died pos-
sessed of the lands of Eilrig, Raeburn, Muidlew, Yetbyre
and others, in Dumfriesshire, and a valuable property around
Lessuden, in Roxburghshire, where he built a commodious
mansionhouse ; he d. soon after the Revolution, leaving
2 sons and a da. ; from his eldest son William, is lineally
descended the present Walter Scott, of Raeburn.
Walter, second son of the 1st laird of Raeburn, was a
man of considerable classical learning, and an intimate
friend of the celebrated Dr. Pitcairn. He made a vow to
wear his beard unshaved until the Stuarts were restored
to the throne, whence he obtained the surname of Bearded
Watt. His fortune (originally small as the second son of
a cadet,) was much impaired by the part he took in politics ;
by his wife Jean Campbell, da. of Campbell, esq., of
Silvercraigs, he had 2 sons, 1. Walter, who to., and had
issue a son, Walter, who d. in America, sine prole; 2.
Robert; 3. William, who had several sons, of whom the
eldest, James Scott, of Prince of Wales Island, was well
known
1252 SCOTT.
known as one of the most intelligent and active merchants v
in India.
Robert, 2d son of Bearded Watt, was bred to the sea,
but being shipwrecked in his first voyage, betook himself
to agriculture, and obtained valuable leases from his kins-
men, the lairds of Harden and of Raeburn, the last of
whom became his son-in-law. He was m. to Barbara
Haliburton, da. of Thos. Haliburton, of New-Mains, now
called Dry burgh Abbey, the representative of the ancient
and honourable family of Merton, which representation by
the death of all the children of Thos. Haliburton without
issue, devolved upon Walter Scott, eldest son of the said
Barbara Scott, and Thos. Haliburton. See a little unpub-
lished genealogical tract entitled, Memorials of the Hali-
burtons.
Robert Scott resided upon Sandyknow, a farm belonging
to Harden, and being a very shrewd and intelligent man,
is believed to have been the first person in Roxburghshire,
who ever acquired a considerable fortune by his skill in
agriculture; he left 5 sons and 4 das., of whom it is only
necessary to mention the sons, namely, 1. Walter, of whom
presently ; 2. Thomas, who followed his father's profession,
and d. in 1822, at the advanced age of 91 and upwards ;
he was twice m. ; 1st. to Barbara, da. of Walter Scott, of
Raeburn, his cousin ; 2dly to miss Rutherford, of Know-
south : 3. Robert Scott, of Rosebank, a capt. in the sea
service of the East India company, unm.; 4. John, also
bred to the sea, who d. unm. in consequence of an injury
received in the course of his duty.
Walter Scott, eldest son of Robert Scott, in Sandyknow,
was b. 11 May 1729. He was bred a writer to the signet,
or conveyancer, and was eminent for his general worth and
respectability, as well as for skill in his profession. He m.

University of Edinburgh, and one of the four pupils of the
celebrated Boerhave, by whom the great medical school in
that city was founded. Anne was his da. by his 1st wife,

The name of Pocock is of considerable antiquity in the

tion, to have been buried at Hamsted Norris, in that co., as
early as 1493. Edward Pocock, the learned orientalist was
the son of the rev. Edward Pocock, vicar of Chieveley, co.
Berks, and was himself rector of Childrey, in that co.

under the auspices of his uncle visct. Torrington, and was
present on board the admiral's ship the Barfleur, in the
memorable victory gained by that distinguished commander
in the year 1718, off the coast of Sicily, when the whole of
the Spanish fleet was either taken or destroyed. He was
made capt. 1 Aug. 1733, and in 1748, commanded on the
Leeward island station, and blocked up the French fleet in
Martinico; io 1754, he went to the East Indies as second
in command under admiral Watson ; was soon after pro-
moted to be R.A. of the blue, and on the death of admiral
Watson in 1757? succeeded him in the chief command of
the English fleet in those parts. With an inferior force he
gained three signal victories over the French fleet, com-
manded by the count D'Ache, and before the close of 1758,
had established the sovereignty of the English in those
seas. For these services he received the thanks of the
East India company, his statue was erected in the India
house, and his sovereign bestowed on him the order of the

ceeding year, lie was appointed to command the naval part
